You're making this harder than it is. Fish body oil by definition
comes from cold marine fish--salmon, herring, mackerel, menhaden,
anchovy. You want either a softgel or liquid, you want as few "other
ingredients" as possible. You want to see a minimum combined total of
DHA and EPA of 300mg per 1000mg (or less) oil. You do not want Omega
6s in it, nor Omega 9s. You do not want a soy-based carrier oil.

Omega 3 pills are not likely to meet the minimum dosage
recommendations. Stick to liquid or liquid capsules.

I'm sure the brand he gets from Whole Foods is fine; knowing Whole
Foods though I'm sure you can find a product of similar or higher
quality elsewhere for the same or less money.

Here is a website that can help you weed out the substandard products:

Additionally you should consider browsing the list archives; fish body
oil has been discussed over and over again. Certainly within the last
month there has been significant coverage.

I use liquid SO from Timberwolf Organics, and I use 1000mg SO softgel
caps from Walmart (Rexall brand), and I use 1000mg FBO caps, also
Rexall brand from Walmart.
