Balance Grow Fish Jerky Snack

The scoop

Spotted on the shelf with a clearance price card: Balance Grow Fish Jerky Snack in Chili Flavor. If you’ve been hunting for a crunchy, spicy protein snack to switch things up from the usual chip aisle, this one might be worth a closer look before it disappears for good.

This snack is made from seasoned filefish jerky, pressed and shredded into crispy strips coated in a chili seasoning. The packaging promotes it as “crispy and savory,” with Korean-style branding and a red chili pepper graphic hinting at a spicy kick.

At 10.58 ounces per bag, that works out to roughly $0.85 per ounce at the marked clearance price – a reasonable per-ounce cost for a specialty seafood snack that isn’t a pantry staple at most grocery stores.

Items like this often land on clearance when Costco rotates its international snack selection or when a seasonal promotional run winds down. Since this isn’t a typical year-round stock item, don’t expect a restock if your local warehouse sells through its supply.

Bottom Line: If you’re into bold, spicy jerky-style snacks and want to try something outside the usual beef jerky lineup, this one looks like a fun grab while it’s still on the shelf. Have you tried fish jerky before, or would this be your first taste test?
