    Where can I buy small spicy "dried" fish snacks?

    In Beijing one of my favourite foods to eat were these small spicy fish that had been dried and then packaged in some spicy sauce. I have looked everywhere but can't find them and they are pretty much the only things I liked to eat on the weekends. I'm more of a snacker then a three meals per day person.

    That is what they look like. ^

    If anyone has seen these in any supermarket, grocery store or market, please please let me know.

    In basically EVERY convenience store and supermarket in Shenzhen. Just 60 minutes away...

    Or thanks to imparanoic's keyword, can get on Taobao and have them deliver to HK.

    Try it. Taobao item that were refused to ship to HK:

    Vegetables
    Coffee beans
    Vegetable seeds

    Anyway, just check if sellers ships to HK or not.
