I ordered Carlson's too. I was taking Dale Alexander and

1. it is way too fishy

2. it is likely rancid because it is not refrigerated in storage or at the
store, and it causes me to burp up a fishy odor for a number of hours
(sorry)

I ordered the lemon flavor. Meantime I'm sticking to flaxseed oil.
