I did a comparison for that one.
Flameout (FO): $25 for a bottle of 90.
Theragran-M: $15 for a bottle of 200.
Theragrans
EPA: 231
DHA: 144
Flameout
DHA: 550
EPA: 220
Oops: I screwed up the math (crossed divided the figures):
DHA: 3.8x for FO
EPA: 1.1x for FO
But, since it's 3-6g combined for DHA and EPA:
2.1x for FO at 3.5x the cost.
Without knowing what your father is paying, I can't comment on the value of Res-Q, but it does have high concentrations, but! I though this was kind of funny:

Res-Q 1250 is NOT fish oil
Today, fish is the most accessible dietary source of omega-3 fatty acids. Unfortunately, popular fish species are often contaminated with PCBs, dioxins and heavy metals, such as mercury. As a result, public health authorities recommend limiting our intake of swordfish, salmon and certain other types of fish to once or twice a week. Res-Q 1250 is superior to other omega-3 supplements in several ways. We extract EPA and DHA from small, pelagic (deepwater) fish — herring, sardine and anchovy — that live in the Norwegian Sea. We harvest the fish far from coastal waters that might be tainted by runoff and other by-products of civilization. We also avoid larger species that live long enough to accumulate high levels of contaminants.

So it's not fish oil, but it's oil from fish.
If money is no object, go for it.
