Yes. A real, raw source is almost certainly better than a processed and treated source. Packaged fish oil is sometimes rancid, unnoticeable to you, and those oxidation products are harmful. It is also heavily loaded with antioxidants, without which fresh fish oil goes rancid within hours, and which have their own detrimental effects when in excess.


I'm confused, it sounds like you very much don't recommend supplementing if already eating enough fish?


Sorry, that's what I meant (misread the OP). Better to just eat fish.


Well they are not that healthy these days (salmon or tuna). Maybe 1x a week is still fine, but we are just guessing the long term toxicity thresholds.
