here is a little chart I made up to compare costs of fish oils. I made it when I got some advice to stop using generic's and start getting my fish oil from some bigger name companies.

Code:

            EPA    DHA    #of gels    Cost    EPA/Bottle    DHA/Bottle    EPA Cost    DHA Cost
Super O3    300    200    130        14       39000        26000        0.000358974    0.000538462
N Salmon    180    125    230        12.4     41400        28750        0.000299517    0.000431304
N Fish oil  160    100    240        20.29    38400        24000        0.000528385    0.000845417
N Salmon    180    125    360        23.28    64800        45000        0.000359259    0.000517333
Flameout    880    2200    90        24.99    79200        198000       0.000315530    0.000126212

Most of the ones listed are Carlson products and the prices are from vitacost. I was pretty surprised to see how cheap the flameouts were when broken down like this.
