imitation crab
Imitation crab meat, also known as surimi, is a blend of fish and other ingredients. It’s made from pollock or hake and formed into long thin chunks. It’s flavored, colored, and shaped to resemble crab meat. It has a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a texture similar to real crab meat. Imitation crab meat is perfect to add to salads, sushi, and casseroles. It is a more affordable alternative to real crab meat, and it’s also a convenient option for vegetarians or people with a shellfish allergy.
