I've been using Nordic Naturals omega-3 gummies for months and I LOVE the lemon flavor. But I grabbed a bottle of strawberry once by mistake and it was gross... like fishy candy. Now I'm out and not sure what to get next. Anyone else have a favorite flavor that doesn't taste like a fish died in your mouth?

Yeah, strawberry is nasty IMO. I stick with citrus flavors - they mask the fish oil best. I get the Nature's Bounty orange ones and they're pretty solid. No burps either, which is key for me during my fasting window.

Citrus all the way. I've tried a few brands and the ones with lemon or orange are the only ones I can tolerate. Trader Joe's makes a decent lemon one if you want cheap. Just check the label for rancidity - some brands smell like a bait shop.

Good to know. I'm leaning toward citrus now. But anyone tried the tropical fruit flavors? Heard mixed things.

Tropical fruit is okay but sometimes has a weird aftertaste. Stick with straight lemon/orange I'd say. If you want a solid rec, the Carlson brand lemon gummies are top-tier. No fishy burps!
