Is there a big difference in these? I sent someone to the store for me and they ended up brining "Wild Pacific Salmon Oil" caps instead of Fish Oil, Should I return them or would I be alright just taking these? Thanks.

Yes and no. It really depends upon the specific products you are comparing and their method of manufacture.
The difference is typically with the EPA, DHA and other fatty acid content. Most FOs are a "proprietary blend" of various species and are deodorized and molecularly distilled (high heat exposure in a vaccum) (and possibly concentrated with more to more EPA/DHA) - i.e. it undergoes more refinement and processing and can alter the proportions of the various FAs.
Many salmon oil products do not undergo the same level of refinement. Many are cold-pressed and more gently handled. Besides knowing the source, the FA profile more closely resembles the fish in its natural state as if you ate it. It may also contain other trace nutrients like vitamins, carotenoids, etc...Last edited by in10city; 11-06-2008 at 07:04 AM.
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

I teh agrees. The higher up in the food chain you get, the higher the concentration of toxins. Ever wondered why the difference in albacore and chunk light exists? It's actually because albacore is harvested when it is older - and has had longer to accumulate the higher levels of toxins found in albacore (most namely, mercury being the big measured one). It makes sense if you think that each small fish has a small level of toxins, then a big fish goes around eating a few hundred of them.
I remember being relevant.

Seal Oil is an interesting alternative source of Omega 3.
I remember seeing it for sale when I lived in Norway, however I don't think I've ever seen it for sale in the UK. The manufacturers claim it's a better Omega-3 source than the alternatives, I'm curious to see if this is so.
