Who knows Cuttlefish? Americans are kind of clueless about Cuttlefish. We are way more into Calamari, primarily the coated and deep-fat fried version served in Italian-American restaurants and bars. Cuttlefish, like squid is consumed all throughout the world and is an obvious go-to snack flavor especially for Asian countries. Here we have a corn chip that is seasoned with salt and cuttlefish seasoning. I must say, this snack is really not too bad. Besides the fact that the chips were expired by several months, they were crunchy C-shaped airy potato crisps with faint shrimp and squid flavors. I thought they were going to taste much fishier but were surprisingly mellow. Each bite presented a tingly feeling on my tongue but I attribute that to the MSG the snack is unabashedly loaded with. Every little C is a tiny bit nutty, a bit sweet, and barely fishy. So should you go run out to your nearest Hmart and buy these crazy little snacks? Well if you want to push the boundaries of your snack game, this is where you can start. It is a squid-like flavored chip that you most likely can handle in a heartbeat. Regardless, you can always stand by their unifying package statement: "Delicious Cuttlefish snack to munch for any occasion with friends, family yourself..."

Rating: B+ (An unexpectedly good tasting snack if you don’t love seafood chips)
