cod-liver oil
Omega-3 rich liquid
Cod-liver oil is oil extracted from the livers of codfish, traditionally taken as a dietary supplement for its vitamins A and D.
It was once a dreaded childhood remedy, spooned out by parents despite its unpleasant taste: My grandmother swore by cod-liver oil every winter.
