What's the difference between Algal DHA and Fish Oil?

I have been taking Fish Oil pretty much everyday since I was younger....I was going to get my new bottle of Fish from Walmart and I ran across this stuff called Algal 900 DHA. Fish oil is a whole lot cheaper than the Algal and the pharmacist said they are pretty much the same thing. Why would someone one to pay the extra buck for Algal 900 when they can get twice as much Fish Oil?? I'm taking Fish Oil for memory management but I didn't know the difference in the two other than the price.

What gives?

Thanks

    I agree with the first answer and would like to add that some people burp up the fish oil and find it inconvenient because it smells and tastes bad when it comes back up.

    Vegetarians who want the benefits would not consume fish oil.
