Crab isn’t something I eat often at all, but the novelty of crab flavoured foods — like this Lay’s Potato Chips Fried Crab Flavor — still appeal to me.

These chips are thin cut and a pale yellow colour sparsely speckled with red without much of an aroma aside being a nondescript savoury. Upon tasting, though, the crab flavour was prominent and came through initially as a flavour that recalled crab stick before developing to a deeper, sweet crab flavour into the body where the flavours of coriander and onion make their presence known. After eating a few, the crab flavour remains strong, but there’s also the faintest heat from the chilli powder. We’re pleasantly surprised by the flavour of these chips.
