Umm...yeah. These are ok if you can get past the initial STRONG ammonia smell when you first take them out of the package. It mostly goes away when you rinse, pat dry and microwave (per directions). I think the package says something like "unique aroma." 
It does not smell good.
Are you trying the hungry girl recipes? I used this for the alfredo with the laughing cow light cheese, added broccoli and chicken and it wasn't too bad. Like I said, the hard part is getting past the smell until it's microwaved. I tried it a few times but not something I'll use again.
I got mine at Whole Foods.
Good luck.

I have. They are about 40 cals for a serving. I think there are two servings in each pack.
It does have a very strong kinda strong fishy smell. It does go away after you rinse. I haven't microwaved them after rinsing. I just use them and I don't notice any oder or taste of it in my meals.
The texture is a bit more spongy and thicker than noddles. The noodles are very long so I just chop them up. I really them and have used them in chicken soup, and anything where I need some more bulk (substance) to my meal.
These are sold in my grocery store in the Organic/health food cooler section.

My whole foods has them and when I'm in San Francisco the Asian markets have them too. I don't like them and I'm a big noodle fan. Like ice cream I've never met a noodle I didn't like but these I'm not fond of. I would rather eat the real deal and have less of it. The smell will go away if you use it in soups and stir fry with sesame oil and veggies, touch of light soy.

If you're looking for low-calorie, low-carb (but high nutrient) noodles, you can make various types of noodles out of zucchini (slice with a veggie peeler for 'lasagne', take those and cut into thinner pieces for 'fettuccini" or "spaghetti". Either leave raw and marinate in a bit of oil and salt, or steam VERY LIGHTLY. Otherwise they will get mushy).
Kelp noodles are another low-calorie, low-carb option.
