And this

This is my new favorite snack food. I don’t know what it is, but the little squiggles are light and crispy and just barely kissed with salt.

I think this sort of thing is often a variation on shrimp chips, the ones that look like styrofoam served in Chinese restaurants.

Might be, but there's no fish or shrimp flavor to them at all. Whatever flavor is there is really subtle, and more like regular crackers than anything else.

They're at great pains to tell you they use sea salt, but what the crackers themselves are made of I couldn't say.

In my experience, potato if salted (really, really aired, cleaned potato, but still from potato) and rice if sweetened. But that's a guess, of course.

The cook in the cooking class we took served us snacks like these that tasted slightly better, and said they were a wheat cracker of sorts. I grabbed this bag on the off chance it was them, and while they were good, I think they may be a different brand.
