Can you ingest the contents of a fish oil caplet?

I am to start taking 2 fish oil caplets a day, but I have trouble swallowing the large pills.

Other than the taste, is there a reason I can't just open the caps and consume the oil?

    Yes, you can open the capsules. Fish oil and cod liver oil came in a bottle for decades. People poured it on spoon or mixed in drink.

    I give my dogs fish oil and cod liver oil from a bottle into their food. About 1 tablespoon of either twice a day is typical recommendation. Best Wishes!
