Fish oil is reported to have many health benefits like:

A Healthy Heart
Healthy Joint Movement
Fish Oil Reduces Stroke
Fish Oil Cuts Risk of Sudden Death
Evidence That Fish Oil Helps Heart Disease
Fish Oil in Pregnancy Can Prevent Diabetes
Fish Oil Can Improve Lupus Symptoms
A Healthy Brain
A Healthy Immune System
Balanced Mood and Sense of Well Being
Healthy Kidneys
Strength and Stamina
and more...

But over the last year there have also been some reports that some fish, and maybe fish oil supplements, are contaminated with mercury, PCBs and other toxins, which obviously are not healthy.

Consumer Lab has tested 41 (!) fish oil supplements:

“Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) from fish and other marine sources may reduce the risk the heart disease, improve symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and be useful in the prevention and treatment of many other diseases.

But three omega-3 products failed ConsumerLab tests. Some products didn't contain their labeled amounts. One was spoiled. However, none of the products were contaminated with mercury or PCBs— unlike some popular types of fish.”

So if you are not sure about eating fish, or if you don’t like fish, fish oil supplements look like a good choice.
