Does it matter which fish is used in my fish oil supplement?

I just got done with a bottle of Alaskan king oil. Bought two more bottles of some other stuff that was a lot cheaper and I noticed it was made with a conglomerate of fish (anchovy, mackerel, sardine, pollack, whiting, cod). I know some of these are lower tier fish but when it comes to an oil supplement, does it matter? I’ll finish this bottle either way but want to know what would be better for me next time. Thanks!

Answer

The info here is really good thus far, small fish, triglyceride form, etc., but one other thing is to see if the fish oil has dpa (Docosapentaenoic acid) listed in amount on the label. This is the final form that is converted from dha iirc.
