Fish oil is a thing. One might be able to burn it in an oil lamp, but it would probably smell horrible.

What do you think whale oil was used for?

I thought it was used for automobile transmission lubrication.

It’s use predates the car and was mainly used for lamps though it was used as lubricant in factories.
