My sister gives me the *junk* from some packaged food service she gets. She's a very picky eater.
The last big fail was a packet of BBQ'd Kelp. I can't see anybody in their right minds trying to market the stuff as snack food, but they did.
Overly fishy, dry, with led to a horrible texture. Makes the dried kale she got look great by comparison.

Roasted kelp is tasty stuff!
It is used in hundreds of Sushi recipes.
Its also very nutritious.
You got bad stuff. The better ones don’t taste fishy at all, and neither should a good, fresh fish. They should both taste and smell ocean-y and fresh - not what we call ‘fishy’, which usually refers to a fish that is slightly ‘off’.
