This is from a list of products available from a food company. No other context unfortunately. Most of their produce involves seafood, but not exclusively. Any ideas?
Cassolettes de la mer, Huîtres cuisinées, Mini Chaussons, Croustinettes, Noix de Saint-Jacques marinées, Pommes de Terre Farcies

filo parcels
This would cover all the vaguely chinese options (as with the seafood ones in the photo) and the likes of spinach, cheese, etc. It also avoids having to go with 'dumpling', or 'spring roll', neither of which quite covers all of the options.

Comment: "Thanks, something along these lines is probably best. Maybe "crispy / crunchy seafood parcels" in my specific case. Thanks to everyone who answered / commented."

this is a rough translation by using GOOGLE TRANSLATE
Censers of the sea, cooked oysters, Mini Slippers, Croustinettes, Walnut St. Jacques marinated Stuffed Potatoes
AND FOR THE ONES WHICH CAN NOT BE TRANSLATED YOU CAN REFER TO GOOGLE IMAGES
SOMETIMES you have such time consuming translations
good lucks

: I'm sorry, but I don't think this is the right kind of forum for Google Translate – particularly as only one item on that list is accurate.

: "censers of the sea?" / "marinated stuff?" Hardly stuff to be used in a professional paid piece of translation work. Probably best not posting on this professional forum in future if you are going to rely on Google Translate.

: "walnut St Jacques" for scallops, please don't use Google Translate, professional translation is what we're here for!

: I think that final "stuff" says it all ;)). I would be most alarmed if I found this on a menu! With the others: ProZ is not the place for any sort of machine translation

This is an option, assuming that the shape is as in Nora's and Stéphanie's pictures.

wafer-wrapped parcels
If Stéphanie's link to the photo corresponds to the products in question, I would refer to these as wafer-wrapped parcels (generally) and wafer-wrapped prawns, wafer-wrapped scallops etc. more specifically. The 'Croustinettes' in the photo look as though they are wrapped in Chinese wafer paper, something a little thinner and more delicate than filo.

Another alternative would be wafer-wrapped bites or appetizers, given the small size of the products

: how about deep fried wafer-wrapped (so the wafer'd be crunchy rather than floppy)? e.g. no. 17: http://www.china-house.co.uk/China-House Files/TA-Menu/TA-Me... -yes, crispy

Thank you Rachel. Deep fried, or crispy may be?

: They look like filo pastry parcels / wraps contained with seafood (prawns, mussels etc.) to me.
