Article: High EPA Fish Oil Grows Muscles

Now it MIGHT be far fetched.. but fish just seems to be an anabolic food. Considering and yes, very low doses.. but 11-oxo is also a fish derived steroid .. and taken in high ammounts seems to be quite anabolic and anti-cortisol. Now EPA is found to be anabolic... so it might just be that long term consumtion of fish sets up your body into an anabolic state.
 
Charles Poliquin was a proponent of high dose fish oil consumption for muscle growth many years ago. There is definitely "too much a good thing" at doses above say 7-10 grams because you start to suppress your immune system.
 
THE important point
is to get more EPA than DHA...
which is the ratio typical of typical fish oil supps,
so I guess save the money not buying the higher DHA varieties.
