I don't know if you looked at the links, but one points out that the fish oil available in capsule form is bleached and denatured beyond recognition anyway-certainly not what Nanook of the North was eating.

Oh, no, yeah, I definitely found that stuff interesting and it's handy to have links like that around to stop the incessant noise of people singing the praises of that stuff.
