600mg Fish oil per day, good or bad?

Hi All,
  I have started taking fish oil 600mg, 1 per day. This was not recommended by Dr. Just want to make sure how safe it is to take 600mg fish oil per day?

Thanks  in advance

That's not a high dose, but the above is correct in noting that not all fish oil is created equal.

Your question has insufficient info.  Typically, 600 mg fish oil per day is not harmful.  But you are not specifying what fish, nor the EPA/DHA content.
