I've heard very good things about high-EPA/decent DHA fish oil thats molecularly-distilled.

This seems to be a frequent recommendation (particularly if you don't eat seafood or fish) in many health circles and I'd like to get everyone's thoughts on best products, practices, etc.

Depends on what you want to take them for.

Most fish oil is completely ineffective:

Some medications can cause a CoQ10 deficiency, so if you're on one of those medications, you might need a supplement, but absent that, there's no reason to take fish oil.

If you don't have heart disease, eating two servings of fatty fish weekly or following a vegetarian diet rich in healthy oils, nuts, and seeds is a far smarter strategy than buying fish oil supplements.

I don't do either of those things. They are essential. What do?

Just mix in some flaxseed meal whenever you cook anything that involves mixing. It doesn't taste like anything and has lots of fiber and omega-3s.
