Fish oils are produced whenever fatty fish are processed into meal. In Europe, they are widely used in the manufacture of edible oils and fats, for example margarine. Other uses include the paint and varnish industry. In addition, there are several other specialized uses for small quantities of fish OILS. Fish oils usually have to be low in free fatty acids, less than 2 per cent, to obtain the best price; production of high quality fish oils depends on the use of fresh raw material, proper purification and good storage.
