舊海灣製作金魚，一種已經完美的小吃，甚至更好

金魚客觀上是一種完美的食物。小奶酪餅幹形狀像可愛的魚？不去愛的種種？當我20多歲的時候，當我還是一個保姆時，我吃了幾隻從我的指控中偷走的餅幹，並對小吃產生了深切的懷舊愛，這在我照顧別人的孩子的同時使我受益匪淺。但是，該品牌的最新創新，金魚餅幹，上麵撒滿了心愛的東海岸調味料老灣，是一個啟示。

與我們大多數人認識的金魚餅幹不同，這些金魚並不俗氣。餅幹始於品牌的“原始”味道，然後用熟悉的芹菜，略帶辣味的老海灣調味。當我打開包裝（看起來很像Old Bay的黃色錫）時，我立即被運回了我最後一次坐在大西洋的海岸上，圍巾冰蟹。

They’re certainly better than the classic “original” Goldfish, in which the main flavor note is mostly just salt, and arguably better than the beloved cheddar flavor, at least for adults, thanks to the light spiciness that lingers in the background after you shovel a handful into your face. The crackers are also supremely versatile, both an excellent drinking snack, pairing perfectly with a light beer, and a killer substitute for oyster crackers on top of a bowl of clam chowder.

Even though these crackers don’t exactly recall the oceanic salinity of shrimp or crab boiled in tons of Old Bay, they’re like a snack-sized reminder of your favorite low-country boil, and that’s perfect for those times when you’ve got neither the time or inclination to boil up a mess of seafood. They’re also orders of magnitude cheaper than a platter of crab legs, and that’s essential in this era of outrageous inflation.

舊海灣金魚本周被介紹後幾乎立即售罄，但母公司麥考密克說，目前正在將完美五香餅幹的袋子運送到全國各地的雜貨店。可悲的是，它們仍然被稱為限時產品，這意味著我可能會花一些時間在當地的雜貨店巡遊，以建立足夠大的藏匿處，至少可以持續幾個月。
