What kind of fish skin do you use for your IRVINS Salted Egg Fish Skins?

What is Salted Egg?
Salted egg is the main ingredient in our premium homestyle recipe. We use high quality salted duck egg yolk which is a Chinese speciality made by curing duck eggs in brine or salted charcoal.
What is “Hot Boom”?
Hot Boom refers to the spicy versions of our salted egg snacks. If you’re looking for a kick, try our Spicy Salted Egg Potato Chips and Spicy Salted Egg Cassava Chips.
What makes IRVINS the original and best Salted Egg snack?
IRVINS Salted Egg snacks originated in Singapore from Irvins Live Seafood Restaurant back in 2008. Founder Irvin Gunawan quickly realized the popularity of the Dangerously Addictive snacks and began expanding across Singapore, and eventually overseas. Our salted egg snacks are formulated by expert chefs in Singapore, using the best ingredients such as real salted egg yolk, aromatic curry leaves, and vibrant chili peppers.
Do your snacks contain any known allergens?
Our snacks contain egg, milk, soy, wheat, and tree nut. Snacks are produced in a factory where fish products are also handled.
Why does it seem like my chips are all broken/crushed?
If you'll notice in our pictures, our chips are actually purposefully in those bits because we lovingly hand-mix our chips with real salted egg and other chef-crafted ingredients, then bake them right into the chip (as opposed to other brands who just "spray" a powdered flavoring onto the chip). This extra special care into flavoring our chips is what makes IRVINS so #DangerouslyAddictive. In fact, we even recommend you give your bag an extra good shake to properly distribute all the salted egg goodness before you dig in.
