@@silverfang1158 I hate you!!
Imitation crab has a few drops of real crab juice. So, a person with a shellfish allergy can still have a serious allergic reaction. Voice of experience here.
I have a severe shellfish allergy and imitation crab in small amounts like inside sushi doesn’t bother me.
Good info.i hope a lot of people that eat this is aware of this.thanks
Actually Not all imitation crab has crab juice in it so important to read ingredients.
I have a shellfish allergy but can eat most kinds of imitation crab. You just gotta look at the ingredients list.
Why bother to eat fake shell fish food. Don’t take the risk 👎
I thought imitation was a kind of crab until I turned 13.
We all have a story.
❤
Im gonna ask what part of the ocean imitation is
😂that’s awesome
☠️
And to think, that crab and lobster used to be trash food for the poor
This has been found to be a myth with no evidence backing it.
@@Mikhail-Tkachenkoa couple thousand pages on Google disagree. With nothing to support your claims. 5 of the first 10 are from pretty reputable sources
@@joetate87 You obviously didn't even look.
@@Mikhail-Tkachenko I grew up poor, and in New England no less. I actually looked a bit, more then your dumbass ignorant comment warranted. Just admit you're wrong, and we can both move along
Thats supply and demand for you, this happens to everything that is plentiful at the beginning but slow to restock like cod was. Cod was a common mans fish but as the global population was reduced it cost more and more to harvest.
Honestly it’s pretty good although if you eat real crab right after they don’t even taste similar at all
The flavors and textures are completely different, yeah. Still, surimi has a place on my table, because real crab is so doggone expensive that I can hardly ever justify buying it.
⁷⁷7@@HayTatsuko
Theyre pretty good
😂
I actually thought that imitation crab is like premium crab when i was a child. Since we live next to a beach, crabs are plentiful, but we only ever get a few imitation crab sticks if we're really good that month
So seafood spam.
So basically it's the hot dog of seafood; we don't know what they're made of, we don't wanna know what they're made of, but they're still delicious
hewwo fellow furry owo
I thought imitation krab was just Plankton in a metal Krab suit
Imitation crab is still kinda good with cocktail sauce
Yes it is!
Truth!!
Everything is good with cocktail sauce, even peanut butter and Ovaltine.
This is in all California rolls, it’s just surimi and mayo
Also pretty much all kani (crab) salad, at least here in the US.
And not particularly good.
so it's the hot dog of seafood
😂
No, fish sausages are the hot dogs of seafood.
@@pwabd2784 Lobster Sausages too
That raises more questions than answers!
If fish paste is only ⅓-½ of the stick, then what's the other ⅔-½ made of?
Flour or starch
Chemical s. It’s TRASH . I don’t eat it.
Human
@@Tsukuyomi500 imitation grey smurf.
YES! That’s what I was thinking! What’s the rest made of?!
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery
Its the hot dog of sea food 😄
Oh Bikini Bottom, we pledge our hearts to you
I worked on a commercial catcher processor fishing boat for a few months. Once you’ve seen how surimi is made, you’ll never want imitation crab meat ever again.
How is it made? How is it made? Lol
@Rose_budd it's sorta like the pink slime made in chicken nuggets
I mean, it’s just slurries fish. Yeah, that stuff looks gross, but at the end of the day I don’t mind have imitation crab meat. It’s cheaper and quite frankly I can’t really taste much of a difference.
Food is food. Once u go to asia they eat food with the heads and eyes still on it and dont care at all
Food is food. Once u go to asia they eat food with the heads and eyes still on it and dont care at all they even eat the cooked head Slime is nothing
I don’t care if my crabs are real or not: If the food is good, eat what you’re given as you should!
Right
Indeed! And be grateful😌
I thought this was going to tell me something new beyond what I've read off the ingredient list for this food for years. lol
it's like chicken nuggets, hella processed but we'll still eat it cause it tastes good
This reminds me of the SpongeBob episode called "Imitation Krabs".
"WhAt Is ImMiTaTiOn CrAb MaDe FrOm" -immitation crab probably
Actually, there isn't any actual real crab in imitation crab. Imitation crab meat is random fish made to look like crab
@@mynamegoeshere9754 bro you found the truth
I know a guy who would buy a pack of these and just eat them out the pack as is... I thought they were supposed to be cooked and served as actual crab, as in, they were made with raw fish/shellfish but he politely educated me and said "No, they are basically like a fishcake dough after cooking, you use them however you like" and continued to chow down on a packet of lukewarm saran wrapped imitation crab sticks.
I put my hands in the air like "I am defeated, you win".
Bro😂 I chow down on them too. They are delicious. Yes you can eat them right out of the package. This is what they put in many types of sushi rolls. : 🍣
I think it is cooked u can eat it raw . They even put it in imitation crab sushi straight from the plastic

Ahhhh eewwe 😅
I actually like the taste of it😂. Had some in seafood salad from the poppy store and I usually don’t eat the salads because of onions and peppers but it was good. Three days in a row
I used to get this a lot during lunch breaks at work. Super cheap but a tasty snack. Even if it is unhealthy and a much worse version from the real thing. Still good.
Literally could buy an entire tray of them for less than $2
It’s not at all unhealthy. 18 cal per stick.
It's good in bacon pasta salad
Its great shredded on a house or chef salad.
I use fake crab when I do my crusted cedar-planked salmon on the grill. I chop it fine in my food processor. and spread seasoned mayo on the filet to act as a glue to hold the chopped krab in place. Makes a great crunchy crust.
I really don't like how it tastes, it taste like if ketchup was a meat. Awful. Real crab tastes way better.
I think it depends how you use it. I used to hate it too. But I found I like it in sushi rolls,with sriracha, umnai and Kewpie mayo …full of flavor and the rice balances it out.
I just saw a video from like the 1990s where they were talking about Pacific Hake and how it's used to make surimi
Bologna of the sea ⛵
Bologna is expensive 😂
Quit laying it's more soja beens than anything
It's good in salads, rolls (like fake lobster rolls), and in mac n cheese. But no, not nearly close to tasting and feeling like real blue or king crab.
I’ve had the fake krab and it is to rubbery. Just not the same and the taste is not as good.
It's gross
It’s in those sushi rolls
I live right by the Chesapeake Bay. Blue crab country. We still eat that stuff all the time around here. I just bought a pack today. Around here we usually just mix it with mayonnaise and sometimes tiny shrimp and make sandwiches with it. People around here love it.
And then there’s a mushroom that looks and tastes like a lobster, it’s never a dull day learning something new about food. 🍴
What is it called?
Been quite a while since I eat one, now I crave....
I thought this was common knowledge
I knew about it in the 70s
Now i know why my poke place gives out free Krab 😳
Jessica Simpson would call it “The hotdog of the sea” 😂
Honestly I just want yummy tastes lol
In fact crab have a lot of population after breeding it mean that was easy to get it, and they're easy to repopulate a colony of crabs
Now... Why it expensive?
What’s in the other 50 percent?
Basically a seafood hotdog!!! Lol
ok but its so good wtf???
We've always called it fake crab in our household
If only I knew this as kid with a severe fish allergy I could have saved myself a bunch of allergic reactions.
WAIT WAIT WAIT!!!! so you mean to tell me imitation crab meat... IS AN IMITATION!??!
I AM SHOCKED!!!!!!
I'm just waiting for someone to make the ultimate joke about crabsticks.
Imitation crab is actually super tasty
Tastes fine.
Not gonna lie I stopped eating this stuff because it’s unrecognizable to the human gut, but the short really made me want some
As long as they price it accordingly, and they taste like crab, I'm in
I just bought this from Sams and thought "Wow what great prices for crab😅"
Fun fact, in Australia we call it “seafood highlighter” 😂
Or seafood extender ahaha. My local Woolies recently changed the labels to "surimi mix"- my family has always called it fake crab lol
I love this as a snack.
Imitation crab meat is dope. Love it in sushi.
It’s like Velveta “cheese” or Spam. Nobody admits they ‘approve’ of it but lots of people enjoy using it in recipes 😀.
Have you ever had the crab casserole at your local Chinese Buffet? It’s delicious, and of course uses imitation crabmeat. The bits of celery are real though! Mmmm! 😀
I saw this with crab cakes and fast food fish patties and thought to never eat it and still have not
Actually it was originally made from a fish called Pollack, a white fish found in the North Pacific. A Japanese man invented it, and sold it to Sugiyo Co. of Japan. I think he got around 10k in the early 1970s. That's 80k in today's money. But it's generated 100s of BILLIONS in slaves. Had he taken 5k and a 2% royalty, which was offered, he would have been a billionaire if he were still alive.
In Spanish we call it jaiba (Hi-bab) usually goes well with tostadas, lime and tomato salad 🥗
Ooo, gonna look up a recipe. Ty
It took me a long time to understand that what I was eating was the pinnacle of mystery meat the final fuckin boss
A lot of brands use shrimp or small amounts of crab juice mixed in with the whitefish to give it the flavor, so if you have a shellfish allergy, still don’t eat it.
I was in Mexico and they put this in cocktails .. with shrimp . Scallops and octopus
Im not gonna lie... Imitation tastes pretty good, good snack, and its cheep
That shit is genuinely disgusting
They should change the name to Counterfeit Crab.
I love imitation crab.
Just out of curiosity .... What is the remaining 1/2 to 2/3 of the imitation crab ?
Grain, if it's not whole meat, it's grain
Hum..... Grain is not imitation crab.... Grain does not swim ...... 🤔 I don't know why in my head imitation crab meat fish... Hum. 🤔
Imitation crab is absolutely disgusting. It tastes nothing like the real deal.
They should probably rebrand it into "Fish strips" or something.
Taste kinda good tho👀
What, uh, what makes up the other 50+%?
the other 50% of crab sticks are usually some type of starch, like wheat, plus egg whites to bind the paste together
Krab..Krabi... is usually seasoned with added crab juice, so it is NOT safe for people allergic to shellfish...
Homemade crab salad: Diced onions (optional
grilled), diced celery, tzatziki sauce with dill, shredded mozzarella, a small cheap container of real crab meat, and 2 lbs of imitation crab sticks - chopped up.
It's great and tastes legit like crab because of the real crab meat, but you can make A LOT since the imitation meat fills it up.
It usually contains at
least a few drops of real crab juice. That means that if you're allergic to shell fish, you'll still have an allergic reaction. Learned that the hard way...in ER
I have always wondered what an imitation crab looked like, never seen one in the wild
Pollock is tasty tho
In Canada it just straight up says imitation crab and that it’s made of haddock
Yep, I worked in a fake crab plant for 7 years, yes this is exactly what it’s made of, this and a few additives……we made it from slabs of white fish to packaging. We also made lobster or fake lobster.
Good thing the video didn’t bother to mention what was in the other half of the product.
Both imitation and real crab meat are delicious. I enjoy both

As a Japanese speaking Japanese American.
I always knew it as surumi
It wasn’t until I was in 1st or 2nd grade I was taught it wasn’t called surumi in the state. But instead called “imitation krab”
This is the first time I heard something other than “New York” in front of the word “Times”
It should be named "industrially processed fish sticks"
I've heard that monk fish is common in imitation crab.
some imitation crab meat taste good 😋😊
Imitation crab pisses me off so badly. 😑😂😂😂😂
Wait it’s not made of mostly fish but some form of fish? Dang I been lied to.
The only “crab” that should be in Rangoons!
I always loved imitation crab sticks my sister always told me they were made from tripe lol
Imagine making an imitation food product with only enough of the thing it’s imitating in it to give people with allergies to the original a violent reaction eitherway
ثم نتسائل من يأتينا الإرهاق والأمراض.. !
فلنعد لطعام الأجداد بلا تدخل المصانع
They flavor it with fermented crab juice. Aka rotten fish.
Its great for budget crab cakes/fritters
Oh Mr. Krabz 😂
I actually like Surimi/Krab...while real Crab is more tasty, having Surimi in a bowl of Ramen or Udon, and goofy Americanized Sushi is fine!
Cheer~~~a crustacean with a broad carapace, stalked eyes, and five pairs of legs, the first pair of which are modified as pincers. Crabs are abundant on many shores, especially in the tropics, where some have become adapted to life on land.😊
In Australia, it’s called seafood extender
Haddock was the base for a lot of krab stick in America because of the texture for a long time.
Ever thought about how much a crab looks like a tick?
Could be a reason for that.
