Fish oil is the fat or oil that's extracted from fish tissue. It's sometimes produced from the livers of fish, as is the case with cod liver oil. The fish oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are very important for your health. The main omega-3s in fish oil are 'eicosapentaenoic acid' (EPA) and 'docosahexaenoic acid' (DHA), while the omega-3 in plant sources is mainly 'alpha-linolenic acid' (ALA). It's also important to get enough omega-3s because the Western diet has replaced a lot of omega-3s with other fats like omega-6s.
