I got hooked on these satisfying crunchy little guys. They are entire half-anchovies (headless and gutless), which have been fried and seasoned with that holy trinity of Asian cuisine: chili, sugar, and salt.

Available with or without sesame seeds, they are a fantastic alternative to our relatively boring Western snacks. They are bargain priced at $2.99 for a good sized jar. Pretty fishy tasting of course, but an excellent discovery if you like that sort of thing.

These yummy, fishy, spicy, salty, sweet things are also available at BestPrice (at the same price as Manphong). Great to keep at your desk to satisfy cravings and scare off coworkers!
