I've had several items that were new to me since the last time I posted on this thread:
Regarding shrimp, none have topped my favorites SeaPak Jumbo Coconut Shrimp and SeaPak Jumbo Butterfly Shrimp, but they've all been pretty good. waterfrontBISTRO Butterfly Shrimp I think are next best after the two previously mentioned SeaPak shrimp. waterfrontBISTRO is a Safeway store brand. Kroger Crunchy Coconut Shrimp and Kroger Crunchy Butterfly Shrimp have batter that's a bit too thick for me, but other than that, they're good. I probably expected too much from SeaPak Tempura Shrimp. They're okay but missing the light crispiness I want from tempura. The jury is still out on SeaPak Budweiser Beer Battered Shrimp. I've only had part of the package of those, and I overcooked them.
Moving on to potstickers & similar, Bibigo continues to be my favorite brand. I had the spicy version of Bibigo Mandu Pork & Vegetable Dumpling earlier, and while the regular Mandu Pork & Vegetable Dumplings aren't as much of zing to the palate, they're also very good. Bibigo Pork & Vegetable Mini Wontons also get a thumbs up from me. Others I've liked (roughly in order of preference) are:
Wei Chuan Vegetable & Pork Dumplings Gyoza
Beksul Crispy Potstickers Vegetable Beef & Pork Dumplings
Sprouts Pork Gyoza Pot Stickers
Annie Chun's Organic Pork & Vegetable Potstickers
Wei Chuan Korean Pork Dumpling
InnovAsian Pork Potstickers
Tai Pei Pork Potstickers
Daylee Pride Pork Gyoza Potstickers
Annie Chun's Organic Shiitake & Vegetable Potstickers
Ling Ling Potstickers Pork & Vegetable Dumplings
Daylee Pride Beef Gyoza Potstickers
Chung's Pork Potstickers
Only one frozen potato product to add, Ore-Ida Mini Tater Tots which is the best of the Ore-Ida tater tot varieties that I've had. Not as good as my favorite Alexia Yukon Select Puffs, and not as good as Great Value Taters (which were a surprise find), but maybe 3rd in my tater tot rankings (slightly ahead of about a dozen others.)
