What is Surimi crab?
Surimi crab is not crab meat: it is made mainly from minced white fish, shaped and seasoned to resemble crab. Surimi has a long history in Japanese cooking, while crab sticks became a familiar convenience seafood product in many countries.
Its mild, slightly sweet flavour and springy texture work well chilled in seafood salads, sandwiches and sushi rolls, or served as a quick snack. It is low in fat, with more carbohydrate than you might expect from a seafood product and a modest amount of protein. Pair it with vegetables and a more substantial protein source for a fuller meal, and go easy on salty dips.
