Reviews and returns
What reviews say buyers love and hate about Seaweed
What buyers praise, what they complain about and why they send it back, from the reviews.
Complain
So it's not to everyone's taste
Unpleasant fishy taste
Awful taste
rather expensive
Wasting money
Expensive for what they are
Awful flavour
Paper thin flavouring at best
the flavour seems to be less than before
not crisp at all
my only nag is that a few of the packets in the batch must have got air in them as the seaweed sheets were a soft texture rather than a crisp bite
Only thing is once opened they can lose their crispness hence one star less
However the quality is inconsistent
Very very bad quality
Variable quality sadly
Love
Super tasty snack
Great snack
Great taste
perfect for making nori rolls, good quality and good price
Good quality nori sheets
Good quality
Best Value
Good value for money
Excellent value
Nice and crispy
Certainly a crisp with a crunch unlike the production of normal potato based crisps
Crunchy
Good flavour
Love the crunch and the flavour
Great snack great flavour
