I first became aware of this product years ago in Asian grocery stores. I bought and ate a LOT of it over the years. About 5 or 6 years ago, the asian dried shrimp started to taste “funny” or more correctly stated; it was TASTELESS. It looked good but there was no flavor. Why? Well I’m pretty sure that the product coming out of Asia is now being raised in aquaculture ponds just like the ‘tiger shrimp’ that i’ve come to detest. I stopped buying it.
Then I find out that Cajuns have been snacking on this stuff for years –HOOOAH!
My faith in humanity has been restored. I’ll be buying up a bunch.
Yours for tickled tastebuds and a heartier state economy.

P.S. The real point? I’m not the only one: a lot of people out here on the left coast have figured out that ANYTHING coming out of Asia is likely to be bogus. For True!
