100% developed in Singapore, using finely pulverized fish meat (Surimi), the Crusty's snacks are unlike any savory seafood chips commonly found in the market with high starch content. Singapore-based seafood snack maker Royale International Food developed the product to introduce better quality seafood chips using real ingredients from the sea.
Made using fresh fish protein, these crabsticks snacks are baked dry before sealing in a resealable pouch, to deliver the crispy crunch and mouthful of UMAMI from the sea. Available in both Original and Corn Potage flavor, these high in protein golden bites are a flavorful take on the classic Crab flavored sticks that many are familiar with.
The brand stated that more flavors will be available in June 2023.
