If the purpose is to use it as fishing bait... Why not forget the fish oil and use some form of powdered dried fish(Asian supermarkets often sell dry fish, you would just need to grind it up, and gag from the smell ;) )? You could then make a gel using gelatin or perhaps agar, creating a jelly that you could easily cut up into pieces...

*edit* You said paste, I didn't notice that. If you want a paste then I am not sure, unless you have some emulsifier it will always separate. You could always add fish powder to something already pasty and see what happens...

Maybe a corn starch/oil/fish parts mixture? In a sense make a very thick pasty 'gravy' from the starch by heating it with a minimal amount of water, then as it is cooling down add and stir in enough fish oil and or fish parts to thicken it up and carry the scent you are looking for. You could experiment with something to make it less soluble in water, the original formula for WD-40 comes to mind, as it would leave a fish oil flash on your lure/bait even after the paste has washed off. Sometimes fishing has picked up when a lure has been given a bit of Anise oil, (black licorice scent) or spit while you are eating black licorice.

Research "emulsifier"... However just adding emulsifier to a mix of fish oil and Vaseline (god... Yuck) will not make a "deodorant" consistency product. It'll still be goopy, sticky and disgustingly messy. It just won't separate. Anyways, good luck with whatever it is you are making.

Vaseline should be ok for your project.

I guess a long chain fatty acid will do the trick. Like stearic acid.

Nope. Try lecithin. About 15 bucks a pound, at your local Whole Foods Store.
