If it contains fish, then it contains fish oil. That is, the oil comes from the fish in the first place. It may be pakcked in another oil but that's not to suggest that it does not contain fish oil. (eg, it may also contain bones or brains or intestines, but you won't find that on the label). And of course the oil or water in which the fish is packed can affect the integrity of the fish's oils. That's like when you buy a can of water-packed olives, saying that it does not contain olive oil. But if you rub the olive you will feel that there is some oil in the olive. It contains olive oil, though there may be none added.
