The oils from the edible flesh, frame, head, skin and viscera of seven deep‐sea fish namely, alfonsino ( Beryx splendens ), cardinal fish ( Epigonus sp.) javelin fish ( Lepidorphynchus denticulatus ), lookdown dory ( Cyttus traversi ), rattail ( Coelorynchus sp.), ribaldo ( Mora pacifica ) and sea perch ( Helicolenus papillosus ) were examined. The fatty acids analysed are present as glycerol‐based lipids and no marine wax esters were detected. The distribution of the major fatty acid moieties, i.e. 16:0, 18:1 and 22:6 resembled the pattern common to established commercial fish oils.
