Thanks for the link; I think I'm getting close.  The breakdown here is for
1 cup (1 cup!-Yurrghkkk!) of cod liver oil.  I was looking for commercial
fish oil, sold on the basis of its omega-3 content.  I guess you're
telling me fish oil (like that we buy from the pharmacy in capsules) is
broadly similar.
