Taiwanese Dried Fish and Dried Crab

I went to my local Chinese grocery store to pick out some tasty treats.  First up on the menu are dried fish and dried crab.  These treats are from Taiwan, a country for which seafood is an extremely important part of the diet.  The snacks were relatively healthy if you overlook the MSG (low in fat and high in protein).

If you don't like things that smell fishy, do not try the dried fish.  These smelled so strong that my cat thought I was getting him a treat.  But don't let the smell fool you, the sugar and sesame seeds balanced the snack giving it a mild flavor.

The dried crab were very cute.  They were crunchier than I had anticipated and barely had any flavor at all.

I invite you to try these foods and let me know how you feel about them.  Do you like them?  Do they remind you of something else you've eaten that you liked or disliked?  Or just drop me a line in the comments.  I'd love to hear from you.
