What is Pogy Oil?
Pogy Oil is extracted from the menhaden fish, a small oily fish found along the North American Atlantic coast. It is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA, and is primarily used in animal feed, aquaculture, and as a supplement in some human dietary products. The oil is known for its distinct fishy odor and is valued for its high oil yield and nutritional content.
