no. no chemical will make you more intelligent, but it may increase brain function, which will make you sharper, and more able to use the intelligence you already have.
it wont give you information, but it will allow you to process and recall that information more efficiently
intelligence can only be gained through experience.

Probably more accurate to say that a deficiency of the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil will make you less intelligent, as well as more susceptible to Alzheimer's, depression, and other problems. There isn't enough omega-3 in the modern diet, due in part to the way we feed our livestock, so without supplementation, most of us are deficient.

There's no conclusive evidence it increases brain activity - the brain consumes a lot of glucose but taking in extra glucose wont make your brain use it any faster or more efficiently.

Not if you're a fish, you get separated into fish oil and cat food.
