Alongside flavors like Sweet Cured Ham & Pickle and Roast Lamb & Mint in its [gourmet crisps range](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chorizo-red-wine-crisps), [Yorkshire Crisps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lemon-crunch-mega-loaf) is expanding its offerings with an all-new flavor that takes cues from the sea. Specifically, Yorkshire Crisps was inspired by a rise in [fish and chips snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fish-and-chip-bites) and sought to put its own unique spin on this idea. As a result, Yorkshire Crisps is now making 'Oyster, Chilli & Lemon' hand-cooked crisps. In its 11-piece snack range, this is the first fish-inspired flavor.

The Chilli & Lemon Yorkshire Crisps are made with locally grown potatoes and only all-natural flavorings, without MSG and GMO ingredients.

When it comes to pairing its unique snack crisps with other foods, Yorkshire Crisps recommends "a chilled glass of white wine or Prosecco."
