Threeline Icelandic Natural Cod Liver in Own Oil 121g / 4.3 Oz (12)

These cod livers taste like sealife, don’t be mistaken, but it’s not distasteful. They are similar to sardines, but oh so much more soft, tender and silky light. They are almost moussey. Even the cod oil isn’t bad. Not what I expected after 68 years of jokes in the movies about how awful codliver oil is. I couldn’t have been more pleasantly surprised, honestly. In fact it takes real restraint to prevent myself from eating up every can. These were a very nice price but still it’s not cheap. But let me just say, it’s well worth the price for the nutritional benefits you will surely derive. I think I”ve just started a new healthy habit for life.

I like calf’s liver, and decided to try some Riga Gold Cod liver and quite enjoyed it, so I figured I’d try a different brand. It’s very good – not as fishy as I expected, it tastes more of shellfish, but it is extremely tender – like a fish without any grain or flake. I eat it straight from the can and use some high quality white bread to soak up the remaining cod liver oil. I always have the whole can at once, which is a total of 450 calories.

I regularly have tuna, octopus, sardines, and mackerel for my supper, and this makes a welcome addition. The FDA says you can only have one can a week, due to the copper content, but it’s so rich that one is probably enough.

In comparison with the Riga Gold – the flavor and quality is the same, though this seems to have a bit less liver, and substantially more oil. I’m not sure. There’s a curiosity where both Threeline and Riga weigh in at about 4.3oz, but the Threeline cod’s liver has 3x 150 calorie servings, whereas the Riga has 2x 300 calorie servings, leaving a 150 calorie discrepancy despite their equal weight. Since the Threeline has more oil, I’d assume if anything that it would be higher calorie content, but maybe it’s the other way around.

Anyway, I would definitely recommend this, either for those who like cod liver or enjoy tinned fish in general. I ordered this dozen cans and I’ll be ordering more when I run out.

I first ordered these tentatively in 2021. I had a feeling I’d like them. Just as I always had the feeling I’d like oysters even though they were never in my life growing up. (Found out in later years my grandfather loved oysters).
Well I loved these. They were a bit spendy for my budget so I made that initial order last almost 3 years. A treat for myself.
Now they seem a reasonable price in light of inflation. Still, I will hide these from myself under the bed and keep them as jewels for dark days ahead.

These are absolutely delectable.
