Is the krill oil suppose to smell fishy before u open it? And it smelled awful after i opened it?

No, my 3 bottles haven't smelt bad at all after taking the top plastic cover off, but my friend said her 'Mega' brand krill does smell bad, is this the one you have. Otherwise I'd return it for a better batch.

I assume you're talking about the bottle of krill, not the capsule... My bottle has a little fish smell but not a nose turning overbearing smell. May be one of the capsules broke and leaked? I would pour out the bottle into a bowl and look for a broken capsule... Again, my bottle does not have a overly obnoxious fishy odor. These capsules also did not give me any fishy aftertaste. I hope this helps you!

Sorry it took so long to answer. My last bottle smelled fishy but I also noticed the gelatin tablet was thinner and maybe dissolves quicker in the stomach. I open the bottle and let it air out a minute before taking the tablets and it works fine.

The oil i bought online did not smell like the oil i bought from salons in the past. I don't think it was the real thing, so i got a refund and threw it out. i guess you have to be careful buying it online. My seller was SAI Holdings.

A. Hoffman - will you please explain your claim of the Omegawise Krill oil being a terrible product which should be avoided at all costs. It seems a bit trite to make such a strong statement with no explanation.

No it is not suppose to smell like fish. I have only tried a couple of bottles and neither one had a bad smell. Heat and light will make it taste funny tho. Open and refrigerate...use it up. Don't try to keep it a long long time.

I'm sorry but I don't have a bottle of the Salmon Oil. It smelled awful and my pets wouldn't eat it. I started buying the Pollock oil instead. I checked this bottle and under ingredients it only reads Pollock oil & tocoherols (whatever that is)

David, I think the question is "what are you looking for in a fish oil?" Krill is the best for you and the important issue for me when I purchased this product was that it was 100% Antarctic Krill and that the producthas phosphollpids for the cell membrane and Astaxanthin which is important for energy transfer and oxidation protection (aging). I did not want any additives and don't think a USP seal really makes a difference since we takeso many herbal supplements that don't have the seal. I think you have to select what you are comfortable with. I found that there was no after taste or burping problem and that this band did not give me an upset stomach as some others.

Mine seemed to smell fine - so I'm not sure what you're experiencing is normal for the manufacturer. I'd consider asking for an exchange to confirm it's not something off on that unit. Just my $0.02 :-)

The bottle we got to try has a oily smell but not particularly a fish smell. Mixing it with flavored yogurt is how I use it.Keep it refrigerated, I suspect it could get rancid in heat.

It does have a very fishy smell, but not strong enough for a human to detect, unless you put it right under your nose. I add it to their dry food, and it's in the kitchen, but in ever smell it. I hope this helps.

no, I had nothing like that in my bottle. The oil is smooth and nothing is floating. It has an organic, kind of nutty smell to it. I love this product. Maybe you got a bad batch? If there is such a thing. Perhaps you should return for a replacement? Not sure.

The smell is not from a fish. It is a fish like smell that come from the materials or adhesive used in the construction of the paddles. It is only present when you first open the packaging. I can't recall the smell after the first game. If you are concerned, I would open the packaging and let the paddles set in a well ventilated area for a few hours and then enjoy.

I do notice a minor fishy smell and perhaps a little change in the taste of my smoothies but really not much. Did you refrigerate after you opened it? I have a small jar I took to work that was not refrigerated and it did get fishier smelling. But still not that bad. I think a little taste, smell and color just comes with the product. This is still by fat the best spiulina product I've ever used and iI have been feeling marvelous!

Hi Justin, Sorry for the late reply. Your oil is not spoiled, I can assure you that. The batch you got is good for at least six months after you open it and one year if you refrigerate the oil as per the label instructions. Please note that Pure Unrefined Rosehip Oil (Purest Rosehip Oil, with nothing taken away) should always have a very characteristic smell, having a sort of warm and earthy tone: pleasant or unpleasant depending on your taste. This scent dissipates after a few minutes. You will likely find this in other brands as well, unless the oil is refined. Pure Rosehip Oil does not carry any rose fragrance or a "flowery" scent as the oil is extracted from the seeds or fruits and not from the petals which contain the aromatic molecules. Hope this helps. If you are unsatisfied with the scent entirely, please contact us via Amazon and I'll gladly refund your money in full. Regards, AJ

Mine had no unpleasant smell. Yours may have come in contact with a wandering ill smell during packing and/or shipping.

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
