There’s a new seafood sensation in town, and you won’t find it in Trader Joe’s frozen food aisles. While beloved buys such as the Argentinian Red Shrimp with Ginger Garlic Butter and the Sesame Crusted Hardwood Smoked Ahi Tuna are already fan faves, a new fishy find has recently found its way to store shelves—and shoppers aren’t sure how to feel.
TJ’s quietly rolled out the brand’s Garlic Shrimp Chips this week, and the from-the-sea snack is getting interesting reviews. Some shoppers are already obsessed with the brand-new buy, evidenced by the comments on a recent Trader Joe’s subreddit post. One Reddit user raved, “I’m SO picky about shrimp chips and I LOVE these! Tried them for the first time today.” A store employee posted, “Crew here, we had them in the break room today. Everyone LOVED them! And just the right amount of salt.”
Of course, not everyone is on board with the slightly salty, subtly seafood-esque potato chips. Some social media users aren’t exactly fans. Another Redditor wrote, “My opinion is that these are not very good. They aren’t very similar to the ones I get from Asian markets. Those brands like Dandy and Calbee are much tastier than these. These are subpar to say the least.” Another TJ’s shopper noted, “Calbee is better, but this is probably cheaper.”
And if you’re already a fan of the more traditional types of shrimp chips, here’s what another crisp connoisseur had to say on the matter: “Calbee’s has a different texture and mouthfeel. These look like the ones sold at Costco…which are airy and kinda styrofoam-like (not in a bad way for me). Calbee and Nongshim are denser.”
View this post on InstagramThe speculation didn’t stop at Reddit. When the Trader Joe’s Treasure Hunt Instagram account posted a pic of the new product and asked fans if they would “try or deny,” the store’s loyal followers also had something to say. Influencer Talia Heskett (a.k.a. Trader Joe’s Talia) said, “These seem interesting!”, while other replies weren’t as hopeful. One commenter wrote, “Hmm, not sure how I feel about these. Will I buy? Probably not,” and another added, “Something’s just shouldn't be on a chip.”
What’s the verdict? Based on shoppers’ opinions, these chips are definitely in the give-it-a-try category. And now for the real question: Will this new snack become a store staple or go the way of the coveted Irish Butter Garlic Chips? As of now, there’s no news on whether Trader Joe’s plans to keep these chips in stock or make them a limited-time seasonal selection. That said, if you’re interested in trying this pick, you may want to nab a bag (for $3.99) right now. Given the amount of attention the shrimp and garlic crisps are getting online, they might sell out quickly!
