Yeah, it tastes like the smell of rotting stuff that washes up on the beach. Which I guess is seaweed. What did I expect it to taste like?
If it just smelled fishy, I like fish. And I don’t really smell anything unless I put it an inch from my nose. But it tastes bad to me, plus as soon as you start chewing it, the crunch goes away, it turns into ... well, seaweed. I’d rather eat a salad. Maybe some things you have to start eating as a kid, to imprint on your brain they are edible.

I think it smells like old fish and seawater. On 7/18/2015 10:24 PM, Ken Hohhof wrote: So I picked up a package at Trader Joe’s. Sorry, I don’t see the appeal, it just tastes like seaweed to me. Maybe Costco’s is better than TJ’s. I also got a package of their Wasabi flavor seaweed snacks, I’ll try those, but I am not optimistic. Maybe now I need to eat some bacon to get this seaweed taste out of my mouth.

They come in parchment-like form, about 2”x 4”. They are surprisingly tasty. BUT, your pets will go nuts for them. My Aussie and Weimaraner pooches will eat anything gently from my fingers….except these. They’ll damn near take off my hand for these. Oddly, my kids are the same, even my picky 9 year old son.

Apparently, he is a very good marketer, and it also tastes nothing like bacon (other than the fact that it is salty.) I watched a video of the products they're making with dulse and they say 'it tastes like bacon' then proceed to batter it, deep fry it, mix it with peanuts and chocolate and other things.. you'd think if it tasted like bacon, they would sell it as a bacon replacement, not mix it into peanut brittle.

And if they can powder it, anything could taste like bacon. Now they need seaweed that tastes like cheese. So we could have vegan bacon cheese fries. I keep looking at the Baconator Fries at Wendy’s. They look very unhealthy. And tasty. Maybe with a Frosty.
