Do these have a fish taste or smell because of the added fish oil?

I don't smell a fish taste, and my 3 year old LOVES these gummies! She asks for them every morning, so I don't think the fish taste is very strong. I haven't tasted them myself, though.

Nope, they smell and taste like a fruit bar. I tried them myself and I love the taste.

The fish smell is a result of the two chemicals not mixing properly and/or the cure being off. This can be caused by spraying too thick a layer of product, rather than doing 1-2" thick layers, too cold/warm environmental conditions or other problems.If you make sure to follow the directions and apply the product exactly as directed, you won't end up with a fish smell.

No, I bought them for my nephews and they loved it. The older one didn't feel fish oil but the younger one did as he is very sensitive. Overall it's a good deal. They are more expensive in whole foods.

The Salmon Oil has a very strong fishy smell; I put a few squirts mixed into their dry kibble and I don't notice a fishy smell on their breath at all.

Wow. I do not detect any rancid smell. The oil seems fresh to me and I feel good about taking these. Maybe you got a bad bottle somehow. Maybe try to ask your question to Deva and see what they say.

I don't think they do, but I know that others disagree. I guess seaweed kind of smells like the sea, and that makes people think of fish when it's really just seaweed. :-) If you're sensitive to that, I might skip them. Or send the rest to me if you find you don't like them! :-)

I wouldn't know they smell very close to my oil but not the same.... I need to go to a salon and smell the stuff at my hair salon to be sure. I hope they are I am using them. Sorry I'm not an expert.

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.

mine smelled a little minty, but lasted me forever and still have some left over so i can't say if the new version smells like fish oil. it shouldn't.

I haven't noticed any overpowering scent at all. Lemon does help cover up the scent of fish and is typically used by supplement manufacturers, and I guess that's what I'm faintly smelling when I take these. I did cut into several of these capsules in order to add some fish oil to my dog's food, and the stuff inside really does smell like fish, but I noticed that the capsule itself is very thick, which I think is better compared to other manufacturers of fish oil that really smells like fish to begin with.

No, these capsules are soft, yet thickly coated to contain the liquid within; so there is neither an odor or a noticeable taste. They are, however, fairly large.

It does have a tangy/fruity smell and also a slight hint of fishy smell, as it does contain fish oil. Its not overpowering by any means, though.

Yes, it does smell fishy because that's what's in there, but I swallow them too fast to be bothered by any aftertaste. It wouldn't bother me anyway; it's a great supplement!

Everything is relative but since they contain a lot of EPA and DHA they are pretty large, as most other capsules that holds a larger portion of the fatty acids. You can of course burst them and swallow the oil, but then you will get the fishy aftertaste so that is not recommended if you don't like that taste. If you take the pills with either a glass of water or some food, like yoghurt or similar fluid food, then it's quite east to swallow them. Personally I take them with a glass of water and then the capsules goes down easily and don't taste anything at all.

My experience is with salmon, talapia, and cod. The veggies on top did not have any fish taste.

It is pure fish oil with lemon and peppermint essences added for flavor and vitamin E (alpha-tocopheral) added for extra vitamins and to extend shelf-life. If you don't like the flavor of fish, there's good chance you'll still like this. I detest fish but want the benefits, so I found a way around the flavor - I freeze it in a small tupperware container, scoop out a tsp, slide it off onto the very back of my tongue, then take a big swig of hot tea and swallow. Works like a charm!

Ours certainly didn't smell like fish when it arrived. No problems with it at all.
