First of all you can different results in google depending on how you formulate the question.
Fish oil is still oil. which will irritate the endothelium lining of your arteries, creating plaque while it still may reduce cholesterol. It is not the lesser of two evils.
A much safer alternative (at about $5 a month) is ground flax seed like in cereal.
Mine was about 175, now 130-135 on a vegan diet in a few months. saves $280 a month (I can buy a new car with that savings)
Also be mindful cholesterol levels are different day to day, depends what you eat
