Morphology
The meaning 'an oil obtained from fish' is directly and compositionally derived from the constituents 'fish' and 'oil' (oil made from fish). This noun+noun compound is a straightforward, cross-linguistically common formation, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Fish oil comes from a simple, literal idea: oil made from oily fish by taking their fat and making oil. People found these oils had healthy fats that can help the heart, so fish oil came to mean the oil people take as a 'health supplement'.
