Krill oil = phospholipid form and generally unconcentrated vs commodity fish oils used to make EE forms (like Vascepa). Advantage of krill is the bio-availability. The marketing has been filled with puffery, a big yes. But, not a scam per se; it’s just different and hard to lay out all the differences for consumers when reasonable scientists disagree on bioavailability as this is still new science - 10-15 years old. Aker BioMarine is building a 3rd krill vessel. The smart money still sees a future in krill oil: https://www.akerbiomarine.com/news/aker-biomarine-to-build-new-krill-vessel.

EE form - bioavailability is enhanced when eaten with a fatty meal - uptake goes up in liver (lipase enzyme action to break down ethanol) and gut endothelial walls.

rTG form - excellent bioavailability of the EPA fatty acids (better than EE form generally speaking)

Here’s a newer study on DHA uptake that covers some of these bioavailability issues:
