Fish oil is oil extracted from the tissue of oily fish such as herring, sardines, anchovies, mackerel and salmon, valued chiefly for its high content of the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. It has long been consumed for its nutritional properties, historically in the form of cod liver oil, and today is sold widely in liquid and capsule form as a dietary supplement. Beyond direct human consumption, fish oil is also processed into animal feed, particularly for farmed fish and livestock, making it a significant byproduct of the global fishing and fish-processing industry.
