Regarding fishy burps - I use liquid cod liver oil with orange or lemon. No burps, good taste, and way more cost effective than pills. Carlson's brand.

Tom was right-on when he mentioned enteric coated pills. Enetric coated means that the pills are coated with a substance that does not allow the pill to break down in your stomach, but instead breaking down in your small intestine (due to the differances in pH in the stomach vs. you SI). This not only negates the fishy after taste issue, but promotes absorption of a higher amount of the pills contents into your body (the small intestine sends the broken down chemicals to your liver for metabolism).

I am not a fan of any type of fish, and take enetric coated fish pills with no problems at all.
