Is there any such thing that is reputable? Can you recommend something?

I might be having an issue with the fish part. Still want to benefits of the Omega-3 without the fish issues. Anyone have experience with these?

Yes but the name is escaping me at the moment. I'll see if I can figure it out. If memory serves it is derived from the algae that the oils originate from before they head up the fishy food chain. It's common at health food stores so I'm sure if you asked at one they could tell you.

Flax oil is okay too. It has the building blocks for it anyway, from what I understand.

I take one that is from flax. NaturA is the brand. Don't know if you can get it in the US or not.

Flax oil may be a good option for you. Whole Foods Market carries a good brand (I forgot the name and I just threw out the bottle) and it comes stamped with the date it was pressed so you know it's fresh. I put it in our smoothies each morning, about a tablespoon per person (less for my little one).
