Why does it say "Norwegian Fish Oil" if the actual fish (Anchovies and Sardines) come from the South Pacific Ocean off the coast of Peru.

Possibly because it comes from Norway. Eklund is a Norwegian-based company.

Yes, it is from anchovies and sardines, that is what it states on the bottle. This is the best fish oil product that I have used, there is no after taste.

I always cared more for where they were caught than where they are packed but the fine print on the back of the package says packed in Poland. My grandma emigrated from Poland so I'm kind of proud that you asked this question because I didn't know the answer until you prompted me to seek it. Bristling sardines are caught off the coast of Norway and they taste really good.

I don't see what knd of makerel. It does say - Skinless, boneless fillets of mackerels are harvested from the cold waters of the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Morocco. Whhatever they are - they are very good (not as gross as the sardines my husband ears). :-)

I believe the product is made in Huntington Beach, CA but the Nowegian anchovy oil probably comes from Norwegian anchovy. I agree with Ms. Sews, go to website to see where the safflower oil, potassium sulfate. etc cp,e from. We have used this on our Black Labs since 2005 and would not use any other for shiny, healthy coat and minimal dander.

Half of the nutrients are in the bones and skins - also great flavor. I also prefer sardines in oil! ☼ Bud ☼

Hello K.R. I found the answer to your question in the Q&A section of this product. Below is Young Life's response: "Our fish oil is sourced from anchovies and mackerel, which swim in the cold Humboldt Current in Chili (they are not farm raised). Thanks, Kurt - Young Life Research ". I hope this helps.

The company website says that they source their oil from "select farms in the Sonoran Desert". The Sonoran Desert stretches across the border between the US and Mexico, so I suppose some of it could come from Mexico.

Perhaps it because the oil has a high omega content. I bought a cheap one at the drug store before ordering this, it didn't have a date either.

As a fan over the years, I've noticed that it changes back and forth between Morocco and Portugal. Not randomly, but they may come from Morocco for five or six months and then they will come from Portugal for three or four months. Amazon always says Morocco in its advertisement, but it does vary. I have always preferred the Portugal ones for a nice, firm set of sardines, but as said above, the Moroccan fish does seem to be improving.

I have been using this product for several years and have been quiet pleased with it and find the flavor excellent. I looked on the can and don't see a country of origin but it is distributed by Tri Union Seafoods LLC in San Diego, CA. If you have any questions about origin you could contact them.

I'm looking at the back of the bottle. According to the label, the guaranteed analysis breaks down as: Crude fat (min) 67%, moisture (max)3%, Total Omega 3 fatty acids (min)21%, EPA (min) 10%, DHA (min) 6%. Ingredients are: anchovy oil, sardine oil, gelatin, water, glycerin, d-alpha tocopherol (a preservative). Nordic Naturals is based out of Canada. I don't know if they only distribute it from there or if their processing plant is also there. I do recommend it, though. My dog has been on it for about 2 years now and it's made such a difference in his coat and claws, that I started taking their human version. I'm looking at the back of the bottle.

According to the ingredient label it says it is made from "purified deep sea fish oil (from anchovies and sardines)"
