No. Krill is not kosher. The criteria for kashrut in aquatic species is that they must have fins and scales. Krill are related to shrimp, and have segmented outer shells known as exoskeletons. Most fish with scales are kosher.

The criteria for kashrut in the water is that it must have fins and scales. Krill are related to shrimp, and have segmented outer shells known as exoskeletons. Most fish are kosher, except for all types of catfish and bullhead, and possibly swordfish (it has scales when it is alive, but they fall off when it dies). This is the copied/pasted answer to the question: "Is Krill Kosher?"

I do not think you can get Krill Oil tablets that are kosher as Krill Oil is extracted from krill, an ocean crustacean that very closely resembles shrimp but is smaller in size and Kosher fish does not include shellfish.

Krill Oil is not considered to be kosher. The reason being is that krill is considered to be a crustacean. It is possible to find kosher oils, but it can be difficult.
