This is the best stuff in the world. And if you ever get used to them they’re addicting like yeast candy and algae candy. I have finished a whole bad of this stuff in one sitting. This like beef jerky and fermented tofu is definitely an acquired taste. =)

I’ve had the real Chinese version. (I was in Taiwan). They aren’t candy in the traditional sense (sugar base and all that). They’re really dried fish cubes. It’s like eating a piece of beef jerky only less tough and differently flavored. They’re not bad, a little sweet and salty– savoury. I guess you have to be used to dried meat, fish, and dried “salty” plums–most aren’t salty, but sour– (Chinese food can be weird-you ain’t seen nothing yet) to understand why these are considered candy.

Believe it or not… I have actually tried them. XD
They’re surprisingly good, or the brand I tried were, if they make more than one brand of this stuff. Salty and sweet at once, and kinda chewy, maybe like dried fruit or meat. You wouldn’t eat a lot at once, but they’re nice after-dinner snacks.

Asian Food Grocer calls it, “Tasty Tuna Tidbit Candy” and the second ingredient is Sugar and Sorbitol is also an ingredient (yes, I know that isn’t a lot in todays sugar-filled society, but it is something). Full list: Tuna, sugar, salt, m.s.g, soy sauce (soybean, wheat, salt, sugar), sorbitol, sorbic acid. They are also wrapped like cute little candies.

What makes you think this is candy? There are lots of dried fish & crab snacks in Japan & Asia. It doesn’t actually say candy on the package and when I went to the Asian Grocer link they classify it as a snack food.

I work near Chinatown in Boston and I always wander into the grocery stores there, fascinated with the stuff in the candy aisle. But, you know what? I never buy any because I am afraid of exactly what you wrote about today: coming home with something completely, unthinkably disgusting.

Yes, gross, but I am strangely curious….
