Scallop Snacks

This is a sister pack of Japanese snacks that I bought together with the Konbu Snacks that I have written previously. Forgive me for my slow posting on the roasted pressed scallop snacks but here I’ll finally present a small review of its taste.

Stretching almost 3/4 the size of the bag, the scallops give the impression that it is quite a huge snack. In reality though, because of its pressed nature, it feels like you are eating a piece of paper. I really could tell that the scallops used were actually quite small, just that they are pressed very thinly to make the surface area huge.

Seasoned with a just a little bit of salt, you could taste the flavor of the sea in the scallops…at least that is what I wish I could say. Alas, other than its unusual shape and slightly different texture, the snack tastes almost exactly like dried cuttlefish. Bear in mind that in Singapore, one could get a huge packet of dried cuttlefish for only $2. Each $10 bag of this snack only contained 4 pieces of pressed scallops.

As you can see, I've open to test the konbu snacks first and totally forgotten about the scallop snacks.

Finally opened the scallop snacks to try it out. That's the last piece of scallop you see in the bag, but there were only 4 scallops in a full bag.

Good tasting stuff. But worth the 10 bucks? Not really.
