I received my bottle today, and there is a strong fishy smell when I opened the container. Is this normal?

It should smell like salmon, a bit fishy, but will taste sweet not rancid if you chew them. My kids and I chew them up and enjoy the taste.

Mine does smell a little bit fishy but it's not a very strong smell. I do not chew mine up but swallow them whole.

Bite or cut a pill open and taste the oil. If if tastes fishy, it is rancid. I buy this brand specifically because it is not rancid, so no, that is not normal.

Normally I have not noticed a strong fishy smell. If I take a sniff, which I just did to my container, there is a faint fishy smell but I had to take a sniff to smell it.

I just opened a fresh bottle, and the product was spoiled. It smelled like vinegar and it even bubbled. I have had maybe 15-20 bottles so far, and this is the first time that happened. However, with the hefty price tag of $30, this should not happen at all...

Something must be wrong with it, I've never had any bad tastes with any of the bottles that I've purchased.Maybe contact seller about a replacement.

Fishy is not normal! It's completely plant based and should have a pleasant, neutral smell.

I popped one open to see and it seemed rancid, extremely fishy smelling. I have high quality cod liver oil that doesn't taste or smell bad at all.

I didn't notice anything myself, but perhaps the odor you smelled is because the oil is so concentrated. The company sent me an email soon after I received the product, asking for feedback. You can ask the question of them directly.

the packaging may contribute to the odor. I am extremely sensitive to synthetic odors. You may not have that problem. Best wishes

From my online research the fishy smell is normal for pure rosehip seed oil, mine is the same in odor. I store it in the fridge and that seems to neutralize the odor somewhat

Mine did have a slight oily smell when the shipping box was opened, but that might have been from the other items in the box as the smell dissipated within a day of "airing out."

When I received it the bottle was destroyed in the mail and they were out of stock so I got a refund I never got a chance to use it but I do not recall any smell when I opened it

Using my second bottle of this product Now and do not notice odd smell..just a light clean smell so i would send or bring your bottle back for replacement. This is an excellent produuct and priced reasonably compared to others.

I can't say that mine had that kind of an odor to it when it arrived but it did have somewhat of a chemical smell that lingered for a day or so but went away rather quickly. I assumed it may have been from being stored in some place with some type of chemical. But mine didn't have that strong of an smell, just a kind of harsh new processed plastic chemical smell, if you know what I mean. And like I said, it faded away within a day or so. Sorry, that's probably not much help... :(

mine smelled a little minty, but lasted me forever and still have some left over so i can't say if the new version smells like fish oil. it shouldn't.

Well I bought a bottle and took it to my friend who buys directly from doterra... Well hers smelled a lot stronger than mine. The consistency felt off as well. I do not recommend buying from here.
