Is there OMEGA 3 in the fresh water fish : green carp/grass carp. Is it healthy to eat the oil in its belly?

This fish may have 2 names and commonly sold in HKG and China. The fat I am talking about is not the fist itself, it is the oil


in its belly. I am very much concerned about for my wife says


the oil is just as good as the cod-fish oil. I need someone to tell me the scientific facts. Thank very much.

That would depend on where the fish was taken from. She is right if the carp is in a non polluted area. PCB's are known to cling to not only the belly fat but thrugh out the fish.





Fish oil sold in caplets are processed and actually Omega 3 is ADDED back to an oil, not always "cod liver" oil Read the ingred. Most you will find is a veggie oil or fiber soak....like flax seed.





Although eating fish has its benefits, it can also have a down side.





Cod is also a salt fish not a fresh water fish. Eating fresh fish with this oil (not fresh and frozen) is always in its natural form and is always better than a man made product.





Fish themselves don't store oils in their bellies or in their livers. This is processed.
Reply:Uumm, you have the wrong section dude. This is for PET fish, as in fish you keep in an aquarium, not fish you eat.
