Sally Fallon Morell explains why we recommend fish liver oil and not fish oil: https://bit.ly/avoidfishoil
Note that the key word is liver. Fish liver oil is extracted from fish livers such as cod or skate livers, whereas fish oil is extracted from the body flesh of fish.
Sally explains "Fish oil is a highly processed waste product of the fishing industry. The omega-3s it contains will likely be highly damaged (that is, rancid) from the high-temperature processing, and fish oil does not supply appreciable amounts of vitamins A and D. [The article https://bit.ly/avoidfishoil explains the extraction method, which she predicts will turn you off!]
We do need omega-3 fatty acids, but not too much! Best to stick with small amounts of cod liver oil, to ensure adequate intake of vitamins A and D–in the context of a diet containing meat, organ meats, eggs and animal fats like butter—and avoid the popular fish oils."

Cod liver oil is an excellent source of nutrients, however it certainly is not essential to a healthy diet. It is one recommended food of many. Liver and offal of any kind and other nutrient-dense animal foods from land and sea will provide many of the same benefits.
