Food Review: Sea's Gift (Korean Nori)


I picked up a 20g pack of "Sea's Gift: Sweet Seaweed Snack" from Whole Foods. This is, in fact, Korean Kim or Nori, and unlike the seaweed that is served in British Chinese restaurants it is truly seaweed. (The Chinese restaurant stuff is generally cabbage that has been chopped finely, dried out, and sweetened.) One 20g pack equals three servings of 25 calories each. I also got it to try because it contains no carbohydrates, so I wondered if it might be a suitable snack for Deep Thought, who has diabetes.

Well, the taste test results are:
- crunchy, yes
- sweet, yes
- fishy taste, extremely
- fishy smell, yes
- fishy aftertaste, you got it
- attractiveness to the under 12s, total failure
- likelihood of buying again, not very.
