Not in mine. I'm allergic to shellfish, and I don't like anchovy. That is why I take the salmon oil.

It says "deep, cold water fish including mackerel and sardines" in the product description. The label mentions "deep, cold water fish" without specifically mentioning a type. They do seem to be high quality and work well. We've been using them for over a year now.

This is from the Eklund site: We produce our fish oil from wild Anchovies and Sardines from the South Pacific Ocean off the coast of Peru. The Peruvian Fishery is consistently ranked as one of the worlds most sustainable fishing grounds, and in 2008 the Peruvian Fishery was ranked the worlds most sustainable. We consider only the top 5% of raw materials available, selecting fish that are naturally low in environmental toxins, while high in beneficial Omega 3 Fatty Acids. We never use farmed fish, and can trace the source of every batch of fish oil we produce. Then they are processed in Norway.

Most commercially available fish oils are derived from coldwater fish, primarily menhaden, but also salmon and trout. These oils are rich in the Omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure of the correct answer. This company has a website that explains a lot about their products but I don't remember seeing this addressed. The web address is - http://purealaskaomega.com/salmon-oil

320mg DHA, 130 EPA, omega 3 is from algae oil which is the best kind of algae

I eat sardines like i eat tuna and salmon, with pickles or crackers, etc. One of the major reasons is the health benefits. I buy sardines in water. Some people do not like the taste of fish so buy them in oil or other additives. that is ok. i just sprinkle them with salt and pepper, maybe some hot pepper, and eat them out of the can. with crackers is good too. i have bought this brand for a long time and them i saw in the reviews that it may not be totally off the west coast so i now buy Matiz Gallego and Motgada Portugese Sardines. Much better.

Hello Happy Rafters, Thank you for your question. The fish oil is made of the finest fish oil available from Deep Ocean Water fish (Sardines, Mackerel, Herring and Salmon), usually caught in the deep sea outside Norway. Occasionally it can come from other areas as well, depending on the availability of fish oil from the Nordic area. . The oil is processed in the US, using one of the best purification methods available, Molecular Distillation, which is the only current method that can remove heavy metals, PCB's and other toxins to below detectable limits for human consumption. The process preserves the quality of the fish oil and guarantees that no Trans Fats are created. I hope this answers your question and that you are satisfied with our fish oil. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us again. Best Regards, Jennifer Anderson Customer Service Manager

I don't think fish oil can be "organic" but it is sourced from wild fish (not farmed) which is good. It's important for what we grow and what we farm (beef, chicken etc.) to be organic but fish isn't the kind of species that can be "organic".

I believe the source of this DHA comes from algae instead of fish. Fish can sometimes be contaminated with mercury which is harmful to babies in the womb so this is safer for pregnant women.

For as long as I've use salmon oil, I've not refrigerated and have not had it spoiled. I live in Hawaii...the tropics. Recently I 've switched to Icelandic Anchovy Sardine Oil as Anchovies are not bottom feeders so less heavy metals.

I don't eat fish, meat or dairy any longer since I switched to a plant-based protein diet for better health. However, when I ate these sardines I drained the excess oil and ate them that way. If it's olive oil, then its a little healthier than soybean oil.

If you really want to know if it's organic, why don't you ask the company. I don't believe that they use farm raised fish for the product. They are a local company to the PNW. It is all fish oil that I can attest to, as I did the frozen gel capsule test and it proved that the oil inside was indeed 100% fish oil, since fish oil doesn't freeze unlike soy oil, vegetable oil and even olive oil.
