Sakusaku Nikki Shrimp/Hotate

 

I love the subtle yet complex flavours of these crispy  crackers. Made with natural ingredients, the essence of the sea is evident at first bite. Shrimp is more intense in taste while scallop is more mellow. I love both. The shrimp cracker for simulation of taste buds while the scallop cracker is for slow enjoyment.

Australian Scallops

Everyone knows that Japanese scallops are crème de la crème of this class of delicious bivalve mollusks. Australian scallops are not easily found in our supermarkets, and is thus not as well-known. Well, I highly recommend giving Australian scallops a try, for something different.

The texture is springy with very slight hints of the pliability of the fish meat, so even after cooking them for long time, they do not get as rubbery as other kinds of scallops. Taste wise, it is less salty, but the briny flavours atypical of scallops is more pronounced in Australian scallops.

Country of Origin: Australia, obviously
