Many people enjoy eating chicharon. The crunch, the salt, the grease on your fingers as you dip the pork rinds into a small container of vinegar... Well, I haven't had chicharon for years and years now, but I do remember (vaguely) how chicharon gives one some serious albeit guilty pleasure.
I discovered a pescetarian alternative to this snack, which is available in stalls in malls and other establishments- Fish Skin Chicharon at Peanut World. My colleague Julie brought some to the office and I was hooked from the first taste. We have this stall in our office food court, which is why I often have it. A few weeks after I discovered it, I was eating it practically every day.
It's supposed to be a healthier alternative to the real chicharon, but I'm pretty sure all the salt in it is not good for me. I don't really mind. In a 100-or-50-gram bag, I once again can have the crunch, the salt, the grease... and none of the pork.

These are delicious, and in my opinion, over looked, tasty morsels.
Thanks for sharing.
