OMG, Yes!!! I make a lobster stew with it and I can't tell you how much better it is with the lobster base!!! And if you make anything "seafood" rather than "fish" or "clam", it get soooo much more flavor with this. YES, YES, YES, YES!!! It's a "must have" for any seafood dish. You may never go back to the fish.

I have not tried fish base but I use lobster base regularly (and found it cheaper at the local grocery store). I make a lobster bisque that tastes like the one you get at a fancy restaurant.

I used this and made a broth with the lobster shells. I've not used the fish base. It seems like you should just use one or the other, not both. Good luck!

Agree w/Jeff...haven't tried all flavors,but the ones I did try taste what they were called. Watermelon is my fav so far.

I read that the company changed suppliers. All I know is the last three bottles was in no way the same taste and potency. You couldn't buy the 1 lbs jar until now. It has been months since you could buy anything larger than 1 once. I switched to Kal. It still has the potency but NuNatural had better taste, not anymore.....

I actually was not able to find a "best buy" date on the two bottles I received but the fish sauce inside was just fine. Also I wanted to note that I recently saw this same item at my local Whole Foods store which is where I'll be buying it from now on. I didn't have any problems with my online order, I just think it's easier to be able to pick something up locally and not have to wait for it or pay shipping charges. If you have a Whole Foods near you it would be worth checking out, then you can look at the bottle before purchasing it.

I tried mackerel fish it was good, but not as good as frying. Check temperature and doneness often.

I had the same questions when buying mine on Christmas of 2013. So far I haven't had to replace mine yet and I haven't seen any signs of it needing to replaced yet. However, lobster says they last about 6 months and that you would replace it through lobster. If I remember right it was about $35 or $50. I would recommend calling lobster with questions. Also, I bought mine "used" from Amazon and would recommend you do this as well. The box was a little beat up but worked and looked perfect.

I find it to have very little flavor. The best description I have heard is that it has a slight "ocean flavor." I use one tablespoon to 1.1 lbs (500g) of flour and four jumbo eggs. The bottom line is, if you want a strong squid flavor, I don't believe you will get it with this (even with a larger amount). Good luck if you try it, let me know your results.

I don't notice any fishy smell. In fact, that's why I like this particular brand. I experience no fish smell and no fish taste. I have friends who say they can't take fish oil pills due to the "fish burps" they get, but I have never experienced this aftertaste with this product.

I use Iceland Pure for both my dogs and cats. Like you I tried Grizzly first. I have 3 cats who don't like salmon, they wouldn't eat the food with Grizzly, but will eat it with Iceland Pure. It does have a slight odor, but definitely better than any others I've tried. I've noticed a distinct difference in the old dogs and cats since starting them on essential oils. They move more comfortably and their coats look more vibrant.

I agree with everyone else. Have ordered it online And bought at Trader Joe's and never had a fishy taste. Maybe take it back, and/or try it again and give it another shot. It's worth it!

Half of the nutrients are in the bones and skins - also great flavor. I also prefer sardines in oil! &#9788; Bud &#9788;

Hi, Ellen...this is what I found out. Light versions of mayo "tend to mirror" their fatty counterparts (the standard stuff). Duke's Light is "salty and vinegary", tastes on the ranch side, and is not sweet at all.

You have to order the eggs separately. And while the customer service doing this was AWESOME, you really don't get fish in a jif. (The brine shrimp did hatch right away though, so there was some excitement there!). Several months in, we still have no actual fish. And I doubt we ever will since the temp has to be 75, and we don't even have our thermostat ever set higher than 68, so looks like this will all be for nothing. Had we known, we'd have waited til summer to send in for the fish eggs.

I do believe another difference between these ones and the "Elite Omega-3" (which is the one I've been using) is that the Elite has a "natural lemon flavor" and the Super Omega-3 (this item) does not have a flavor. So I'm curious for those of you who have taken this product, does it have a more fishy smell and or taste? Do you get the notorious "fish burps"? With the Elite version with the lemon flavor, when I burp it is actually lemony.
