Krill oil and fish oil supplements are two sources of omega-3 fatty acids including DHA and EPA. While oil from both krill and fish provide health benefits, there are differences in their origin, price, and benefits.

Fish oil comes from oily fish, such as tuna, herring, or sardines. Krill oil comes from a small, shrimp-like animal called krill.

I've taken both and both have worked well for me.  One nice thing about the krill oil tabs is that they are easier to swallow than fish oil capsules which are huge. 

And both have done wonders for my triglycerides.  My numbers used to be in the stratosphere, but now they are in the normal range.  And I didn't change my diet or anything else.
