Does that taste or smell like fish? I can't bare the smell of fish oil supplements. But my doctor recommended. How is the taste and odor of this one?

It doesn't have a fish smell. I usually take it while eating dinner. I've never burped up fish taste like I did with fish oil capsules.

If you want a real good quality fish oil that doesn't smell at all like fish and leaves over no fishy aftertaste take a look at this one Zahler 3000mg of Fish Oil, 900 mg EPA 600 mg DHA 90 mg DPA total 1860mg of Omega-3, 180 Softgels I experienced absolutely no issues with this one and I also can't handle fish.

There is no fish smell nor fish taste; if you get some on your skin, then you can detect a fish odor, so just be careful in handling the packets.

This prodouct is outstanding! My family uses it. It taste like the old fashion orange Ice Cream bars. I have been taking it for 9 years. Order online as not many stores carry it. And it is cheaper.

The bottle we got to try has a oily smell but not particularly a fish smell. Mixing it with flavored yogurt is how I use it.Keep it refrigerated, I suspect it could get rancid in heat.

If you've ever tasted sardine oil supplements they usually add lemon or orange flavoring to mask the unappealing taste. Also the extraction of sardine oil from is expensive and would drive the price way up. The flavor of olive oil compliments the fish while assisting your body in the absorption of omega-3.

This is the best fish oil I have tried .. Didnt feel burpy or after taste with this one. Dont know if its this product but felt my energy levels go up as well.

I dont know if its fish oil. Ive never had the aftertaste. Could be soy or olive oil. What I do know is that is this ingredient IS NOT suspended in oil capsules, then it doesnt have near the effectiveness. I was stupid and bought the less expensive THORNE formula with the similar ingredient in capsule/powder form. It didnt have an effect. The oil changes that, at least for me.

In the cool months here in western Washington I feel pretty safe about ordering this from Amazon. Shipment is speedy, and it's a much better deal. The flax seed oil develops a fishy scent when it is getting old. So far it's always looked, smelled, and tasted fresh when it arrived. I'm not comfortable ordering it in these warm months. However, the first time I got this stuff from a store in the refridgerated section it smelled slighly fishy and got worse in a hurry. We have no way of knowing how it was packed and shipped to the store or how long it sat in a warehouse somewhere. It's probably a gamble either way.

For me, it smells like oil, for a lack of better description. I wouldn't say it is fishy. The smell doesn't bother me. It slowly disappears. I prefer it to fragrance.

Hi, Kathy. This is Bob's wife, Libby, the user of the capsules. There is a slight lemony smell to the product. I keep mine in the refrigerator to eliminate fishy after-burps, and it's possible the smell might be stronger at room temperature. The contents are fish oils, so if you have a very sensitive nose, you may be picking up a fishy odor. However, if it smells bad or very strong, there may have been some leakage due to heat in transit, leading to rancid oil smell. If that's the case, I would contact your supplier for replacement. I have used many bottles without encountering an odor.

NO aftertaste, the pills do have a very strong fish smell but take them out and put them in your hand for a few seconds and it disappears. they are the real deal that is why they smell. they work so well for your health

Mine does not smell like fish. On the label, to the left side of front is a picture of three people in an oval, and below that is on the right is a "use by" date. Check to see if it is out of date or close to it. Keep in mind that once you open it, it MUST be refrigerated. I have never had a problem with Barlean's. I does smell oily, but then again it IS an oil, but I have no fish smell. I go through a 16 ounce bottle in about 6-7 days; using 1/3 cup per day.

Yes, there is a mild ocean/fishy smell to it. I use it in the skin, so I haven't tasted it.

This was this first fish oil that I did NOT taste fishy. I have tried various brands for over ten years and the taste and after taste (burping) was unbearable. This brand has been amazing for me and it does not have any taste at all.

Krill oil does not have a fishy after taste or fishy burps. I hope this helps.

Well I think they smell about the same. It is fish oil but I've never found either of them to smell super bad just a tad fishy.smell. my dogs love both of them.

Wow. I do not detect any rancid smell. The oil seems fresh to me and I feel good about taking these. Maybe you got a bad bottle somehow. Maybe try to ask your question to Deva and see what they say.

I didn't notice anything myself, but perhaps the odor you smelled is because the oil is so concentrated. The company sent me an email soon after I received the product, asking for feedback. You can ask the question of them directly.

I suspect it's rancid if it smells like fish oil. Many say that Jojoba has no scent. I disagree--I have a very acute sense of smell and I it has a very distinctive, light, vaguely sweet scent. It reminds me of a very faint aroma of baked goods, like pancakes or waffles (without the syrup.) I have never known it to smell like fish oil.
