Molecularly distilled fish oil should have a faint fish flavor, unless it's from the liver (not good, IMO).. Most good companies don't use farmed fish for the oils, they get freshly caught cold water fish.. The main brands to look for, which can be bought either online or at a well-priced retailer: Nordic Naturals Health from the Sea New Chapter Minami Nutrition Country Life Coromega NexGen Pharma (Vitamer, they specialize in private label product) There are others, those I knew right off the top of my head.." __________________ KT021 for 5% over at trueprotein.
