Do PAH Risks Exist When Smoking Fish in Natural Oils Instead of Wood?

Hi.
I wonder if someone could help .. I have been researching PAHs in the smoking industry and was just curious whether these were just exclusive to wood? If the fish are smoked in their natural oils, does this reduce or remove the PAH hazard?
I hope i'm making sense - thanks anyway

How would the smoke be generated?
From dripping fat from the fish themselves she said
Ok, what is it dripping onto?
PAHs are formed from incomplete combustion and theoretically that could be from any carbon based source (pretty much, methane isn't likely). I'm not sure if fish oils are specifically a high risk for these but perhaps other people expert in this area know?

I guess I need to look at the biochemistry of the fish oil itself - thank you
