Hi -
I'm presently taking NOW brand fish oil concentrated at 60% om 3 per g. This is the cheapest brand I've found and it seems to be working (I take 6-8 capsules a day). I have no idea how 'clean' this brand is, but I feel fine so far! I too take cod liver oil, but only a small amount of Solgar (I take less so I can afford a 'good' brand). The NOW brand has added vit E (very small amount).
I think as long as you buy the fish oil from a reputable company you'll be ok. I figured that the NOW brand is so big and reputed to sell good quality supplements for less (they can, as they are so big I suppose and complaints won't do them any good) they're fish oil is likely to be good quality.
If you do well on less fish oil, then I personally would go for the Carlsons or even that omega-brite stuff; but let's face it, when you start upping the dose to like 3-?g pure omega-3, things start to get pricey.
I also recently got shipped some Twinlab emulsified fish oil, which works out at around 1.6g omega-3 per tablespoon. Unfortunately, this is a messy way to do it (taste not so bad), but cheaper. I'm maybe also not too keen on letting sit around an opened bottle of fish oil, even if it has been mixed with antioxidants.
The best place I found for ordering stuff over the web is betterlife.com - they have like loooads of brands really cheap and the shipping is peanuts (I live in Chile so that is saying something).
I heard iherb.com is good - unfortunately they don't ship here (waa).
Ah fish oil my friend.
