Fish oil: how fishy is too fishy?

Posted by lars1 on February 4, 2005, at 10:17:02

I've recently started taking concentrated fish oil and have purchased several brands to try to find one that's fresh and reasonably priced. From past postings on this board, it seems that fishy taste is a sign of rancidity, and rancid oil is not healthful to eat. However, I am wondering, how fishy is too fishy? With all of the brands that I bought, if I bite the capsule, I get a fishy taste that is definitely noticeable, but not overpowering. It's about the same as eating actual fish, like if I bought some salmon at the supermarket and baked it. I would think that since fish itself is healthy to eat, similarly-fishy fish oil should also be OK. How fishy are the best available brands?
