This is a higher-end, premium seafood snack compared to squid. It typically uses dried or semi-dried scallop (conpoy) meat, often shredded or in small pieces, that is rehydrated and seasoned with a Chinese-style spicy glaze. The texture is firm, slightly fibrous, and pleasantly chewy (less rubbery than squid), while the flavor is a sophisticated mix of the scallop's natural sweet brininess, a powerful umami depth, and a sweet-spicy-garlicky sauce. It's an indulgent, savory treat.
