What's the deal with krill oil?

I received an Email last week that escaped my spam filter and went straight to the inbox. Though usually I delete junky-looking stuff, this one didn't have any mention of Rolexes or enlarging my manhood so I read it and was taken to this website on Krill Oil. Actually, based on aesthetics, the website looks like it's selling snake oil, but looks aside, let's figure out what this Krill Oil is all about.
Krill oil is like fish oil but derived from the antarctic Krill. It's considered a great source of Omega-3 and antioxidants, not to mention vitamins A and D, and it's beneficial in lowering cholesterol and blood pressure, and it's good for your brain too. And it's thought it can even help with menstrual cramps and PMS. Though no 'superfood' is without a price tag -- it will cost you about $20 for a bottle of 6 capsules. I'm not sold, because I think I eat enough fish to get my fill of Omega-3s.What about you? Are you a krill oil convert?
