Mariners to offer toasted grasshoppers at Safeco concession

Buy me some peanuts and toasted grasshoppers?

Fans attending Seattle Mariners games at Safeco Field this season can do both.

The team, in partnership with its concessionaire Centerplate, recently added a stand run by local Mexican restaurant Poquitos that will serve toasted grasshoppers tossed in chili lime salt.

A cup filled with grasshoppers sells for $4 in the area behind the outfield wall known as The Pen.

"They are a one-of-a-kind snack that the fans will really love -- either on a taco or on their own," said Steve Dominguez, Centerplate general manager at Safeco Field.
