How do i get my DS to take his omega 3 oil?

My ds1 is 4 and has for the last year or so taken a fish oil supplement (Haliborange Omega 3 chewable capsules) which he calls his 'brain pills'.
But the last two weeks he's been refusing to take them, saying they taste of puke and he will gag and nearly throw up if i try to make him take it (I didn't force him) so we've stopped for now. i really want him to continue because I noticed an improvement in his concentration on school work, among the other benefits.
I've tried squeezing a capsule into his bedtime milk but he refused to drink it because it 'smelled funny' and i tried hiding it in a cheese and pickle sanndwich but he came home from school with it uneaten because he could smell the fish oil.
Has anyone tried a fish oil supplement that doesn't smell (he's got the nose of a cat .
We do use Columbus eggs but i don't want to give him eggs every day just for the omega 3.
any ideas?

It's worth a try Aloha, although i suspect he'll just gag anyway.
