I will try again.The special long-chain omega-3s that are in fish oil are very vulnerable to oxidation. If you take them on an empty stomach, your stomach acid will cause them to decompose, producing volatile aldehydes and ketones ---> rancid fish burps. Not pretty, eh?
If you still get a similar reaction when taking them with a meal, open up a capsule and smell it. It shouldn't smell particularly fishy. Fish oil has an odor, but it shouldn't be powerfully so. It's possibly your supply was not fresh.
