I bought these :

This brand (Carlson) is IFOS Certified, is affordable and highly respected, They have been making fish oils since the 80s.

Robb Wolf Author of the Paleo diet mentioned in his book that he likes 3 fish oil companies (doesn't endorse them!) Nordic Naturals, Carlson and Barleans. Nordic is expensive. Carlson is the best bet IMO.
Each softgel of Carlson Super Omega has 500 mgs (.5 grams) of EPA and DHA combined. When experts talk about fish oil dosage they refer to the EPA/DHA only, so just look at the EPA/DHA PER SOFTGEL! Ignore everything else. The global trend says fish oils from Norway is the best.
I ordered 380 softgels from iHerb.com. I paid Rs. 3185 while placing the order. The package was delivered in flat 4 days coming from USA. I paid Rs. 2310 as customs.
So in all 380 softgels set me down by Rs. 5500. Cost of one softgel : Rs. 14.47. If you have 3 of these a day your daily intake will be 1500 mgs (1.5 grams) of "Fish Oil" and will cost you Rs. 43.42 a day x 30 days = Rs. 1302 a month.
If you have 2 of these you get 1 gram of EPA/DHA a day. Monthly expense : Rs. 868.20 (approx). There is a lot of hoopla about dosages. Some suggest 10-40 GRAMS a day!! RDA recommends 300 mgs a day (Combined EPA/DHA).
The overall preferred dosage seems to be 1-3 grams a day : 1000-3000 mgs a day of EPA/DHA only. Other sources like flax seeds/nuts are not that potent. You will have to eat a LOT of nuts to get considerable oils from them. (it may drive you nuts)
This is what I will buy next time when current stock runs out :

This has 700 mgs per softgel. If you ask someone to get it from the US (skip custom expense) you will end up spending only Rs. 700-800 a month for 1.4 grams (1400 mgs) on one of the highest quality fish oils in the world! Once I get these I will stick with 2/3 caps a day for life.

Compare ON Fish oils and Carlson. ON is crap. Won't ever buy again. There are many cheap Omega 3 softgels available in India. Don't even bother checking them out lol.
