Taking 3 of the Omega 3 Cod liver is not too much. I take about the same amount (unless I am going to eat a big piece of wild salmon or halibut - then I take less that day). I take my supplements throughout the day so if eating fish, I don't take the nightime omega 3.

I use olive oil and have salad with homemade dressing using the olive oil. If I don't, I take a tablespoon (right off the spoon - only those who know me are ok with this now - but this is rare because of cooking with it but believe me, I do it - ask my sister who used to freak).
