Of the third-party-tested fish oils we track, Viva Naturals Triple Strength Omega-3 has the most lab-measured EPA per serving — 1557 mg EPA (with 645 mg DHA). "High-EPA" generally means well over ~500 mg EPA per serving and an EPA-dominant ratio, not a 50/50 split — the profile people want when they're after EPA specifically. Here's every tested product by measured EPA, real numbers not label claims.

EPA/DHA are lab-measured from each product's third-party (IFOS/NSF/iTested) report — the amount in the bottle, not the label. Amazon links are paid (fishoilscore-20).
What counts as "high-EPA"?
There's no legal definition, but in practice a high-EPA fish oil (a) delivers a large EPA dose per serving and (b) has an EPA:DHA ratio above 1:1 — often ~1.5:1 or higher. People seek EPA-dominant oils because much of the omega-3 research on mood and inflammation used EPA-heavy doses. This is general information, not medical advice — talk to a clinician about your own dose.

There's no official cutoff, but generally a product delivering well over ~500 mg EPA per serving with an EPA:DHA ratio above 1:1. EPA-dominant oils are what 'high-EPA' means.
