Soak in warm water, rinse a few times and serve it on a bowl of ice water to keep the crunch. This method made it crunchy, satisfying and not salty or fishy at all. A super fun item to try with friends and family. I did learn the hard way to leave sauce on the side and dip it, especially if it contains salt (and if I had stopped to use common sense I could have avoided this). I tried to add a ginger, miso soy dressing to it and eat it like a salad but the salt caused them to shrink back down and lose the crunch within minutes. Dipping it still kept size, crunch and shape.

Omg these were so good! And fun! We used Italian dressing and seriously enjoyed them. You get 5 packs and the grow 5x times their normal size. The popping is such a satisfying texture!

It smells very strongly of that ocean/sea/beach shore smell of seaweed, the taste is kinda salty but it is very satisfying to eat.

I got these to try since I never had them before and I did not care for them. The quality and freshness are good. They tasted like you just licked the bottom of the ocean. The sauce helps cover the flavor but not by much. If you do enjoy the taste of the ocean then this is the perfect product for you.

The only thing is they only include two sauce packets so unless you make three packages at once, you’re not gonna have enough sauce

Unfortunately these were not what we expected. They legit taste like the ocean. They look cute but they were just not for our taste pallet. PROS: cute shape and color CONS: tastes like the ocean

Never had these before, but I've had other seaweeds in soups, salads, etc. These are fun. They come in a small packet of what I think is brine, and you put them in water for 3 minutes, rinse, then put them in colder (I used ice water literally) to crispen them up. From there you can tip them in the sauce of your choosing as they don't have more than a hint of seaweed/sea flavour. (I rinsed them 3 times, so maybe I washed out the brine completely...oops?) If you've ever see a video of river/clawless otter going to down on seafood, this was me. I was all about the fun mouth feel. I have never had it fresh, so I can't compare it to that, but it was definitely still popping in my mouth with a pleasant, cathartic sort of popping edible bubblewrap sort of way. It came with 2 packets of kewpie seasame dressing, and I can put that stuff on anything like a Frank's Hot Sauce commercial. It was good. No complaints. No saltiness complaints. No unclean/rancid water taste. Just tasted like seaweed. Smelled like the ocean.

I absolutely loved these. Also my daughter really enjoyed watching them puff up . Placing them in a bowl with ice water seemed to work best , added crispness that we enjoyed . My family ate all the packs fairly quickly as a snack here and there . Totally worth a try !
