    If you want it for the Omega 3's read this....
     
    In spite of the importance of adding Omega 3 to our diets, until recently, there were significant risks associated with taking fish oil supplements.  
    This is because fish oils that haven't been molecularly distilled contained high levels of dangerous contaminants.   This is especially true for fish harvested in the North Atlantic Ocean and farmed salmon.
    Even the North Atlantic around the Artic circle is notorious for producing fish that have high levels of heavy metals, such as mercury, as well as PCB's and dioxin.
    These risks still exist today... in most fish oil supplements.
    Plus, most fish oil on the market today is actually a mixture of all types of fish from all around the world -- and many, unfortunately, come from polluted waters.
    Now, molecular distillation by a competent manufacturer should remove these contaminants. Nonetheless, it is still desirable to start the process with the least contaminated fish possible.

    Do you mean for an oil to be used for scenting flies and lures?

    changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes....nothing remains quite the same

    Maybe Crappiefisher will chime in on this. He does it somehow and his kid uses it for scent for his traps. I believe he just puts them in a bucket with water and the oil comes to the top. YEECH!!
