Imitation Crab Meat

Imitation Crab Meat

EverydayCooked

Imitation crab meat is a processed seafood product made primarily from surimi (minced white fish, typically pollock) blended with starch, sugar, and flavorings to mimic the texture and taste of real crab. While pre-cooked and ready to eat, it has a firmer, more uniform texture than natural crab and contains less protein and omega-3 fatty acids. This budget-friendly alternative is widely used in sushi rolls, salads, and seafood dishes but often includes additives like gluten or artificial coloring that may concern some diets.
