Yes we can but taking cod liver oil without necessarily or any health problem is not advisable because it will put extra effort on liver to metabolise as well as may be chances of hypervitaminosis. You can get your dietary Omega 3 Fatty acid from some natural sources too as well like Green leafy vegetable, soyabean, Swap butter and cream with unsaturated oilsInclude nuts etc. Wish you healthy life Feel free for any health assistance.
