#WhatCanIMakeWith #ImitationCrab #ImitationCrabmeat #Recipes #letscookyall #cooking #whatcanimakewithimitationcrab - Jak na to + styl
I love all seafood.. and, honestly, I think “imitation “ crab is great too! I will definitely be trying these! Thanks!
@Cindi Strozier - Hi Cindy!!! Thank you so much for stopping by and checking this video out! Hooray, I'm so glad to hear that I'm not alone in being ok with the "imitation" stuff! Honestly, that is all we have available here, and it's much more affordable anyway. We are just fine with it and like using it in a variety of ways. I hope you try some, especially the soup and the easy crab salad, I'm incredibly partial to both of those!!! Let me know if you get a chance!! Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
Imitation crab is still seafood, just not crab. Its a mixture of fish turned into a paste.
Hotdogs of the sea. Still love them though lol
I bought this today and cooked with olive oil/butter, garlic, a little old bay... served over angel hair with a spritz of lemon juice and parsley and parm... it was
pretty darn good! Faced with $5 a gallon gas and real crab at $45 per lb I can sacrifice a little flavor for this wonderful product. Frankly, at this price it's a
budget meal in todays world!!!
I never thought to use imitation crab to make crab cakes! Thank you!
Yes! I’ve been waiting for this one! Great recipes and perfect timing for lent. I’m obsessed with everything dill right now for some reason. lol I’ll be ordering some imitation crab tomorrow with my grocery order. Thanks for sharing!
@Redsgal21 Cinci - Hey girl!! Thank you so much for stopping by and watching! You are right, and I was hoping that the video from this series that uses lentils and then this one would help with ideas for Lent!! I am *always* obsessed with dill, and use a lot of it, and a lot of dill pickles in everything I make :) It's one of my most favorite flavors, by far! I hope you get a chance to try one, the soup and the crab salad are my favorites, but we enjoy them all!! Let me know if you get a chance to try any of them. Hope you are feeling good these days and adjusting to your new gluten-free lifestyle. Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
These are great recipes. I live on the East Coast in NJ and while seafood is readily available it can get crazy expensive! This is a good way to make something "fancy" and not blow your budget to the stratosphere. 😁
@Ruby Torqueo - Hi Ruby, and welcome!! Thank you so much for stopping by our channel, and for taking the time to watch and leave us a comment. We are so glad you are here, and we hope that you will enjoy the content on our channel. 💖💜 You are so lucky to live near the coast and have fresh seafood! I know it tastes so much better, but we live in a very land-locked, rural area that doesn't have access to any of that. So imitation crab is about as good as it gets here! I agree, with the way meat and seafood prices are going, using the "imitation" or "fake" stuff is a very useful thing to do right now. Hope you get a chance to try some of these! Take care and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
THANK YOU. ! All of those recipes look wonderful. !
Beautiful never know imitation crab meat recipes were so simple. Thank you 💯% on point!!!
Im going to try all three recipes I have a large family and we use imitation crab meat. Its quick and easy to cook with. Thanks so much
@T Denise - Hi there, and welcome!! Thank you so much for stopping by our channel, and for taking the time to watch and leave us a comment. We are so glad you are here, and we hope that you will enjoy the content on our channel. 💖💜 Hooray, I'm so glad that these appeal to you :) We like imitation crab too, and sometimes buy it in the big pack at our Sam's Club (and I bet Costco has it too). For a large family, it should be a lot more cost effective than meat these days, LOL!! I hope these work for you (the crab soup is my favorite, hands down, and the crab salad and crab cakes are also always hits). Take care and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
Thank you for great imitation crab recipe ideas especially the crab soup. I’m going to make all of the recipes. Thank you so much
That looks delicious and so easy!! Thank you, will definitely give it a try.
Thank you so much for these recipes and suggestions I will definitely use it :)
Thank you! Looks delicious!
Thank you so much🎉
Just started eating imitation crab and been looking for some good yet easy recipes.
I love them all. Going to make the bisque. Thank you
Thank you so much for these ideas. My husband got a few bags of imitation crab meat from a distributor where he delivered. Now I know what to do.
Thank you! I’ve been looking for a great fake crab meat crab cake recipe for my 6 year old who loves them and I’m excited to try this one! Also omitting the celery we don’t like that here. 🤗✅💚💜
wow I will definitely be trying all these recipes, thank you 😊
I'm in Australia . These look delicious. Definitely going to try them. I really like fake crab meat. Thanks for sharing.
Love these recipes
This all looks delicious 😋
It being Lent, loved the crab cake idea. Will try those next week.
@Celeste Engstrom - Hey Celeste!! Thank you so much for stopping by and watching this one in our newest series!! We definitely wanted to share this one during Lent, and we also previously shared another in this series, what can I make with lentils, because we know that a lot of subscribers do go meatless on certain days during Lent (we traditionally do meatless or seafood on Fridays). I hope you get some ideas from one of those two videos, and that you'll enjoy them at your house!! Thanks again for the lovely comments! Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
Love all the crabmeat recipes. That crab soup looks super appetizing. My mouth is watering. Thank you for another fabulous video.🌼🌸
@Cindy M - Hey Cindy! My goodness, thank YOU for stopping by and watching and for the truly lovely comments! I'm so glad you like some of the ideas, and hope that these cooking videos, as well as the weekly what's for dinner ones, will give you some ideas of things to cook at your house :) We appreciate the support! Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
Can't wait to try these! Thank you!
@Cynthia Edwards - Hi Cynthia, and welcome! Thank you so much for stopping by our channel, and for taking the time to watch and leave us a comment. We are so glad you are here, and hope that you will enjoy the content on our channel. 💖💜 Hooray, I'm so glad to hear that you are interested in some of the imitation crab recipes. The soup and the easy crab salad are my personal favorites, but they are all really good. We don't live in a location where we can get fresh crabmeat (and it's super expensive, like most everything else these days, LOL!), so the imitation works for us. We really enjoy the imitation "crab cakes" too, along with a veggie like sesame green beans and a big salad. I hope you get a chance to try something and that it works for you. Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
Wow!! What a soup is that🎉🎉🎉
I just made the fettuccini recipe with eggnoodles instead.....fabulous....I used I cup butter, some flour to thicken it a bit, whole milk, salt, Tony chaceri's seasoning, old bay, parmesan and some Red hot....red hot was about a 3 T. divided for taste.....really really good....thx for posting.
Love this so good
I will try the crab cake. It all looked good!
Just what I was looking for ❤
Wow,everything looks so yummy, thanks ❤️❤️❤️
@Christeen Price - Hey Christeen!! Thank YOU so much for stopping by and checking out the video! Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
I’ll definitely try the crab cakes! Thanks for sharing some delicious looking recipes.
@Cathy Feigert - Hey there Cathy!!! Thank you so much for stopping by and watching this video, you are so sweet! Hooray, so glad the crab cakes look like something you might be interested in. I hope they work great for you guys, if you do get a chance to try them. Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
Love these recipes ❤
Great video🦀👌👌👌 Thank you!
I don’t eat Seafood of any kind but I still enjoy watching all you do ♥️♥️
Grandma Patricia
@Patricia Koester - Hey Patricia! Aww, thank you so much for stopping by and showing your love and support of our channel, especially considering this one is not food that you eat. You are so sweet and so very thoughtful!! Hope you and your family are well and staying healthy. Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
These recipes look delicious! I am looking forward to trying them. I love the informative way that you instruct how to do everything. I love real crab, but the imitation crab is very nutritious and good to have on hand for a quick Protein snack! Thanks!
@Kathleen Wassum - Hi Kathleen!! Thank you so much for stopping by our channel and especially for taking the time to watch and to leave us a comment. We are so glad you are here, and we hope that you will enjoy the content on our channel.💜 I know a lot of our subscribers live in an area where fresh quality crab is available (and they were none too pleased to see an entire video devoted to the imitation stuff, LOL!), but we don't have that available. In fact, I've only tasted "real" crab once or twice on a trip to the East Coast. The imitation crab is easily accessible and very affordable for us, so we use it often. The crab soup is my favorite, hands down, though I usually make it in the winter, and we love the crab cakes and crab salad for the summer months. The pasta is good, but not my favorite one, but a nice alternative to a chicken or shrimp fettucine. I hope you get a chance to try some of them, and if you do, we'd love to hear back from you, as to whether they worked for you guys or not. We realize not everyone has the same taste (and you should totally modify the recipes to suit your palate and what flavors and spice level you enjoy). We have a lot of other videos on the channel, and hope that you can find more ideas for meals at your house, from some of our other content. Thanks again for the support, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
I love old bay on seafood,I use bread crumbs to,yum crab cakes,yum crab Alfredo,yum crab salad,nice soup yummy
@FrugalMommaNTheWoods -Hey Beth! Thank you so much for swinging by and watching this one! I do believe that it's getting hot enough to where some crab salad sounds like a really good thing to make for supper, LOL! Hope you and Carmen are well. Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
I must try this great cooking
@Lystra Jackson - Hi Lystra! Thank you so much for stopping by our channel, and for taking the time to watch and leave us a comment. We are so glad you are here, and hope that you will enjoy the content on our channel. 💜 Take care and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
Good recipes!
Thanks for these ideas! I usually always end up making the salad as well, especially in the summer.. Just a tip, if you add a small pinch of nutmeg to your white sauce it adds a little something to it.
@Lin Donald - Hi Lin! Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out this video! I love the crab salad as well, especially in the warmer months too - great minds think alike! We appreciate the tip, and believe it or not, I always used to add a pinch of nutmeg to any bechamel or white sauce. My sweet husband, who has an impeccably good palate, told me very early in our marriage that he didn't like nutmeg much at all (along with very few other things, he is truly the least picky person I know). I tried to sneak it in a few times, and he could always taste it, and would say "did you put nutmeg in this?!" LOL!! So, I leave it out nowadays, but you are right, it enhances the flavor quite nicely!! Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
I would love to eat any of those things you made! I've made the salad before for sandwiches. I would also love that soup, pasta and crab cakes. Those are all good ideas especially when it's hard for us to find fish here in our small towns and state! And good for during Lent. Great job, I'll let you know what I make! You always do such a good job with all your cooking :)
@Gail B - Hey Gail! Thank you so much for stopping by, and for the really sweet comments! You know I love me some crab salad, and that creamy crab soup is truly amazing!! You should try it sometime, or I would be happy to make it for you the next time you are here :) We were trying to get this video out during Lent, thinking that this one, along with the Lentils video from this same series, would help people with some meatless ideas for Lent. Thanks again! Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
I like to make the crab dish from chinese buffets (imperial crab) I think it is, but also makes great seafood pizza
I love your suggestion
@David Beker - Hey David! Thank you so much for stopping by our channel and especially for taking the time to watch and to leave us a comment. We are so glad you are here, and we hope that you will enjoy the content on our channel.💜 Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
My friends ! It looks so delicious. Your cooking skills are amazing. Thank you for the good food.🥳😍🧡🧡
Thank you so much for stopping by and watching!! Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
These are great ideas! I have never made crab soup before. Yours looks really good. When I make crab cakes, I use crushed up "smooth buttery" crackers (or club crackers) and use half the crackers in the crab mix, and then I also pat some more crushed crackers on the top and bottom of the crab cake before frying. So delish! Makes it really nice and crispy on the outside if you like that. I usually dip my crab cake in a mayo/ketchup mixture which my dad used to make when we had salmon. I like the idea of a dill yogurt dip! That sounds really good!
@Lisha Yost - Hi Lisha! Thank you so much for stopping by our channel, and for taking the time to watch and comment. Welcome! We are so glad you are here and hope that you will enjoy the content on our channel. 💜 Ooh, I like the idea of using the butter or club crackers to help with the binder on the crab cakes, I'll have to remember to try that next time. It sounds amazing! I know the soup is a winter favorite in our house (and actually won a cooking contest many moons ago, LOL!), and the crab salad is always a favorite for me in the summer, when I don't want to turn on anything and heat up the kitchen. We often make dipping sauces very similar to what you describe (mayo, ketchup, one dab mustard, lots of creole seasoning, etc) and use it for grilled or fried chicken strips, potato wedges, etc, but we haven't ever tried it with seafood. I'll have to remember it. The dill yogurt is really good and is more like a tartar sauce, which I love and fix frequently (if you ever watch any of our weekly dinner videos). Thanks again for stopping by, and for the great feedback! Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
Thank you
Your food looks so good! I always pick up a package of Louis Kemp imitation crab when it's on sale and have made fettucine alfredo with it many times. This may sound weird, but one time I decided to experiment and stir in a couple tablespoons of BBQ sauce to the mixture and that is now our favorite way to eat it LOL!
@Kim S - Hi Kim!!! Thank you so much for stopping by and watching our video! I'm so glad to hear that you guys enjoy fettucine alfredo with the crab as well as with shrimp and chicken. I honestly would never have thought to add any bbq sauce, but I bet it does give it a nice tang (and I know Tim would love it, because he is a bona fide BBQ fan!). Thanks for the tip!! Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
Great video .. great recipes! We like imitation crab in our house as well :-)
@Rosie O'Grady - Hey there Rosie!!! Thank you so much for stopping by and watching, for your awesome support and lovely comments! I'm so happy to hear that we have another subscriber who likes the imitation crab product as well (a lot of people do not, but we really enjoy it here!!). Hope you guys are well and having a great week so far. Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
Yum - I’ve been making to try my hand at crab cakes. A restaurant I used to work at had Crab Cake Benedict on their brunch menu anddddd I think I might just have to try and recreate that!
@Kathryn Baker - Hey Kathryn!!! Thank you so much for stopping by and watching this one! Oh my goodness, color me super impressed! A hollandaise is something I have never attempted and honestly, (much like a souffle), it just intimidates me so much! Bravo to you, I bet yours will be awesome, it sounds amazing!! I love those flavors, yum!! Let me know how it comes out, if you make it! Hope you and your family are well and having a great week. Take care, and have a truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
Well thank you for.this video! I just got a free pack of imitation crab from my local HEB been trying to figure out how to use it!
@ashleyrose5814 - Hi Ashley! Thanks so much for stopping by and watching, and taking the time to comment. Glad it was helpful! I actually got a package of imitation crab from my Kroger (you must be in TX with HEB!) and plan to make crab salad tomorrow. Hope you found something that worked for you :) Take care, and have a blessed day ---Stacy
How did I miss this? I love the "krab" and make a salad with it. I rinse and pat it dry, then make the recipe. Your crab cakes looked amazing! (:
@lemoncrinckles - Hey Stef!! Thank you for swinging back by and watching this one! Imitation crab is definitely not for everyone, but it works great for us, and like you, we love it in a crab salad. I may have to get some more soon and make some this summer for a nice light supper :) Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
I love these new "what can I make with ..." video's. I have ordered everything to make the crab cakes on my walmart order tomorrow. I grew up eating "blue crabs" but they are way too expensive for us. We have all the stuff to do a crab trot line but different health issues have slowed us down but hopefully we will be able to try it soon. Am watching these on my computer so I can comment now. God Bless you.
@Betty King - Hey there Betty!! Thank you so much for stopping by and watching this one, especially since you switched from your Roku to your computer, that's awesome! I know it's a lot easier to watch on your big tv!! How lucky you are to have had fresh crab available, that's wonderful! Where we live, it's never an option (unless you count the occasional package of lump crabmeat I might can find at Kroger for about $13 a container, too rich for my blood!). I can't wait to hear how the crab cakes turn out for you after you get your Walmart pickup order. Please add whatever seasonings or add-ins that you like in a crab cake (most folks add celery but I'm not a fan), and lots of Old Bay or seafood seasoning. I hope you guys love them!! Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
Will do. Hope to make it on Monday.
@@bettyking5438 - the imitation crab should keep a long time, unopened, in your fridge, but hooray, so glad you will get a chance to try it and I hope it works for you guys!!
Great video
@Christie Flesch - Hey Christie! Thank you so much for swinging by and checking this one out! I hope you are having a fun weekend, and getting some rest too! Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
Stacy I ALWAYS enjoy your videos! You are so Sweet and you explain everything!! 💜💜 These are some Yummy 😋 ideas for 🦀 crabmeat! Thanks for sharing!❤️❤️ Hope you and Tim are doing well!💕
@Tammi Fields - Hey there Tammi! Thank you so much for stopping by and checking this one out, and especially for your exceedingly kind and gracious comments that you left us. You will never know just how much we appreciate that!! We are hoping that this video, along with the one entitled "What Can I Make with ... Lentils" will help some folks out during Lent, when we are trying to figure out some meatless meals. Or just any time, these work year round, especially for us as we really actually like the imitation crab product (I know not everyone is a fan!). We are doing really well, and hope that you and your family are as well. Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
@@LetsCookYall you are so welcome 💞 Thank you for taking the time to respond with your Kind comments!🤗 I appreciate it! We are doing well, Thank you!💖💖
@@tammifields4142 - awesome, I hope you have a great weekend ahead!!! We really do appreciate all the kind words Tammi, believe me, we get some that are really not very nice at all (their mama apparently didn't have the same set of rules that my mama did, LOL!). So we are always so appreciative of truly kind hearted people like yourself!! Take care!!
Hi Stacy oh wow love your crabby patties idea This Easter we plan on having all seafood and i think i might just have to add your recipe to my list of things to make for Easter
@Gladys Errickson - Hi Gladys!! Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out this video! Ooh, that sounds wonderful, and I highly recommend the creamy crab soup if you are having a seafood spread at your Easter festivities. That can be made earlier in the day and then just left in the crockpot on warm and everyone could have that as a side or first course. The crabby patties are really good, but a bit more work and I know you would want to be spending time with family and not in the kitchen actively making and frying up crab patties! Just a thought!! Hope you are well and staying healthy (and warm!). Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
Crabby patties made me laugh. It reminded me of Sponge Bob Square Pants 😂. When I make them I’m gonna tell my son it’s crabby patties.
@@AshleyAshleyAshley395 - Hi Ashley!! Thank you so much for stopping by our channel and especially for taking the time to watch and to leave us a comment. We are so glad you are here, and we hope that you will enjoy the content on our channel.💜 I like that name too, and if it works for your son, then by all means, call them that or Spongebob patties or whatever will entice him to try them :) Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
Thank you for your recipe. New sub. 🎉
Hi! Its Jenny from UT. How are you all doing?? I enjoyed this video, I love crab and Krab! I’m going to make your patties next week, they look really good! Thanks for making this video! Hope you and Tim are well!!
@Jenny Williams - Hey there Jenny from Utah! LOL! Thank you so much for stopping by to check this one out, you are so sweet! Hooray, so glad you liked the crab cakes and I hope they work for you guys, or one of the other recipes. I'd love to hear if you do get a chance to try them :) We are well, and I hope that you and your family are as well. Take care of each other! Have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
Great ideas have a great day
@FrugalMommaNTheWoods - Thank you! You too! 😍💚
oh i love crab salad..one of our local stores has it in their deli and so good,, i also use crab meat with some lobster meat and make seafood mac and cheese,,,is one of rays favorites..i also like crab rangoon and crab dip
@InYour Dreams - Hey Stacy!! Thank you so much for stopping by and watching our video! Hooray, I love a good crab salad as well, or a seafood salad (next time I may add some small salad shrimp too, yum yum). I bet your seafood mac and cheese is AMAZING, that sounds wonderful! I hope you and Ray are well and continuing to improve and feel better every day. Take care of each other, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
Great recipes for the imitation crab. I've never cooked with it but I like it in a California sushi handroll. I love the look of the crab cakes. I have had the canned meat. It would be good in Thai fish cakes. Happy day from Sally and the fur crew! 🦀🦀❤
@superbellabeau - Hey there Sally! Thank you so much for stopping by and watching, especially considering this is not a product you guys have down under. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but it works for us, for where we live, far away from any kind of fresh seafood, especially crab. I also like the imitation stuff in a good sushi roll, especially with some avocado!! I hope Les is doing well and recovering nicely from his surgery and feeling better every day. You guys take good care of each other!! Have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
@@LetsCookYall We can buy the imitation crab but I've never used it in cooking or salad. I love it in sushi with some avo as well. Les is recovering well. Thanks Stacy❤❤
@@superbellabeau - see, and here I thought that was purely an Americanized product, LOL! Thanks for the info Sally, and I'm SO glad to hear that Les is doing well. One of Tim's best buddies is having a heart ablation done today. It's simply amazing what they can do to repair and help the human heart!! Y'all take care!!
I also add celery in my crab salad.
@Claudine 2015 - Thanks so much for stopping by! Almost everyone I know would add celery to theirs too, but alas, I'm not a celery fan. That's the beauty of cooking at home, you can tailor your food to your likes and dislikes. LOL!! Have a blessed day ---Stacy

Stacy, being from Maryland originally, just the mention of imitation crab makes my teeth itch! Old Bay can improve just about anything, and you usually have good recipes. I'm going to take a chance on the "crab" cakes first, then we'll see about moving on.
@Sue Sung - Hey Sue! Thank you so much for swinging back by and watching this one! OH MY, no, no, no, I would not expect you to be interested in any of these using imitation crab if you grew up eating the real thing! Not in the least! Where we are, we never see crab and I have honestly never tasted fresh crab but once or twice in my entire life, on vacation to the eastern coast. So being land locked and not having it available, we do buy and like and use the imitation stuff, but I would never ever presume that someone who grew up eating the real thing would be interested in the fake stuff! LOL!! Just use real crab and enjoy every last bite!! Thanks for stopping by though, we certainly do appreciate all of the amazing support!!

Walmart carries pasteurized real crab in the cold meat section with a long shelf life. Pricey but a great refrigerator panty item.
@Vicki Grice - Hi Vicki! Thank you so much for stopping by our channel and especially for taking the time to watch and to leave us a comment. We are so glad you are here, and we hope that you will enjoy the content on our channel.💜 You are very lucky if indeed your local Walmart carries real crab, as ours here does not. Occasionally, they carry a plastic refrigerated container of lump crabmeat, that is in the $13-$15 range for one small container, whereas I can find a nice sized package of the imitation stuff by Louis Kemp for $3.98. For our budget and purposes, the imitation "crab" is just fine. Real crab is nonexistent in the semi-rural, landlocked area where we live, so this is all we see and have available. You're very fortunate to have that option in your area!! Thanks again for stopping by, and we look forward to hearing more from you in the future. Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚

Do I have to use permesean cheese or can I use motzerela
We love eating imitation crab normally in dip form with cream cheese. We also like to make it in like a sushi form.
@Holo Holo Adventures - Hi there!! Thank you so much for stopping by our channel and especially for taking the time to watch and to leave us a comment. We are so glad you are here, and we hope that you will enjoy the content on our channel.💜 Those are great ideas, and we love a good crab dip, along with a nice crab rangoon as well. I haven't tried it in sushi form at home, but have had it out in restaurants like that. Great ideas, thank you for the feedback!! Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
I have never tried imitation crab hot. I only ever knew about rice salads with imitation crab. Also! Milk with imitation crab! Seems for my brain to be very wrong but i can't judge before trying.
I have those bread crumbs in my cabinet
We are not in an area where we have access to any fresh seafood😢. (I am in Iowa.) We love the imitation crab! We love the imitation lobster too.😊
@Kathy Conger - Hey Kathy!! Thank you so much for stopping by and checking this one out! YES, we are in the same boat, though we are a lot closer to the Gulf Coast than you are (but we live in what's called a "food wasteland" which means we have low levels of access to fresh produce, dairy and meat from local sources). We both like the imitation crab too. I have never tried the imitation lobster, and I'm not even sure I've seen it in our stores, but I will be looking now! LOL!! Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
@@LetsCookYall I have never heard of a real “food wasteland”! I’ve heard the term before. I guess, I just didn’t know the real meaning? The imitation lobster is sweeter. Not sweet sweet. But sweeter, like real lobster. We are lucky enough to have access to beef, pork, etc. My mom worked in a pork packing plant for 27 yrs.(in a neighboring town) Only retiring 8 yrs ago at the age of 72. So, does that mean your meat is costlier because of being in a “food wasteland”?
Take care & have a great week! 😊💜
Thank you for sharing. This is particularly helpful during lent. One other suggestion is to make sushi, particularly California Rolls. You can find seaweed in all the supermarkets near me, though I live in Los Angeles, I’m sure you could find it online. If you don’t like seaweed you could also put an Asian version of your crab salad over rice, with avocado and some crunchy cucumbers and other veggies or over salad if you are trying to eat fewer carbs. There are hundreds of poke bowl places in LA that have some raw and some cooked seafood including imitation crab that charge $18 for one of those bowls. Just a thought, since you and Tim seem to like Asian food. Have a great weekend!
@Patricia G - Hey Patricia!!! Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out our video, and especially for all of the awesome suggestions! I had hoped that this imitation crab video, along with the one we recently shared using lentils, would be very helpful during Lent. I know we try to eat meatless on Fridays (though I would do it much more often during the year if I had a willing participant, LOL!). I am pretty sure I have never seen seaweed here in the grocery, but I will look. You know, I've never heard or, seen, nor tasted a poke bowl, so now you have me very curious! That sounds awesome and definitely right up my alley, thanks for the info!! Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
I should also add that we have gone entirely pescatarian for lent, so I have a lot of meals to cover! Thanks again. I made a great black bean chili in the slow cooker yesterday with dried black beans. Have a great day!
@Patricia G - that's awesome! I would totally do that, but Tim would have to go get Sonic hamburgers 5 days a week and grill for himself the other two days, so that's not going to happen around here, LOL! I hope you check out some of the lentil recipes in the other video, there's two soups there (lentil and brown rice as well as a tomato soup with lentils and chickpeas), and then for Taco Tuesday, you could do the cheesy mexican lentils, which is one of my absolute favorite things (I add corn, zucchini, lots of cheese, etc). I've also done black bean enchiladas several times for Taco Tuesday too, since you guys like black beans (I love them!). Have a great weekend, and a truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
@@LetsCookYall thanks for the black bean and lentil recipes. Sounds good! We are fans of mexican food in LA.
Also, there’s is always a season for Sonic!
2 questions for you. Have you ever tried cooking these in your air fryer? I have the kalorik oven as well as a Phillips basket and I wondered. Also I ordered a cheaper version of the silpat (?) you talk about and it is sticky on both sides. Are the ones you talk about that way?
@Betty King - Hi Betty! Thank you so much for stopping by and watching our video! I will try to answer your questions to the best of my ability! I believe about the air fryer, that perhaps you were asking about the imitation crab cakes? If so, then no, I have not yet tried them, but I certainly would in the future. I love my air fryer and use it a lot, but inevitably, whenever I do and show a lot of things for the air fryer in the regular weekly dinner videos, we get a lot of negative feedback about using the air fryer too much, and people unsubscribing because they don't like seeing things fixed in an air fryer. A lot of subscribers do though, and either way - this is how we cook and what we are eating, but I do try to balance out how I cook things, and show multiple ways of preparing food. I believe the crab cakes, once refrigerated, would do really well in either a basket or oven style air fryer. As for the Silpat question, I have only ever had the Silpat brand, not a knock off of cheaper version. Mine are not sticky, unless I've baked something really greasy and not cleaned it properly with hot soapy water. Mine are not sticky on either side, either new or very used (mine are each probably 10 years old or older). I hope that helps!! Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
@@LetsCookYall Thanks
My favorite is the krab cakes. My husband isn't a fan of anything seafood fake or real so I"Lo save to make when he's not there😀
@hotmama298 - Hey girl! Thank you so much for stopping by and watching this video, you are so sweet! I'm so sorry that your husband is not a seafood fan. If it was up to me, I would eat seafood 2-3 times a week, but Tim thinks he needs fried fish or red meat to be happy, so I just tend to compromise somewhere in the middle, LOL! He was very good about helping me test these out for the channel, though, which I so appreciated. Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
The crab cake was pretty good but I honestly expected it to be sweet
All of it sounds delicious. Thank you for the video! I have one question though. For the crab soup, would canned clam chowder be good to use to help with more of a seafood flavor? Clam Chowder has the same consistency or similar as Cream of Chicken/Cream of Mushroom (depending on what brand you use.) It sounds good as it is but I was just thinking clam chowder might be really good too.
@Dutchess and Kay - Hi there! Thank you so much for stopping by our channel, and for taking the time to watch and comment. Welcome! We are so glad you are here and hope that you will enjoy the content on our channel. 💜 I have honestly never even thought to try subbing for the cream of chicken/mushroom, but that's a really intuitive and smart idea! If you had one that was thick enough, it would probably work well, and as you said, lend more of the clam flavor to the soup. I know that I have been making this recipe since the 90's (and it has won a cooking contest that I entered it in as well!), and have almost always made it exactly as originally written. Only this last time did I add an extra package of imitation crab, to bump up the flavor and crab bites, and I would definitely do that again. It's a wee bit expensive to experiment with, but might be worth a try with the clam chowder sub. If you do try it, I'd love to know if that version works for you! Thanks again for the great feedback. Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
@@LetsCookYall Thanks for replying.☺️ I'm glad you like the idea. I was watching the video to get ideas for how to prepare the imitation crab. I tried the Crab Alfredo but with a bit of a twist (because I love experimenting) and it was SO delicious!😋 I used only half a pack for three people and it did well. I may use the other half to make soup tomorrow if all goes to plan and I'll try it then.🙂👍🏻
@@dutchessandkay2280 - oh I'm so glad that the pasta worked (that was my least favorite of all the ones we made to share for this video). I love crab salad in the summer (not sure where you are located, but we are REALLY hot here, so those kinds of things work great for us in the hot summer months). I love that you experimented and it came out as a winner for you, and I hope if you do try the soup and sub the chowder, that works equally well. Please keep me updated, and thanks again for the great info and for letting me know! We are always over the moon to hear that our subscribers try something we make and like and that it works for them, because we realize not everyone has the same taste. A dish that we like may not necessarily mean it's something you like, and vice versa (I know that I for one, am extremely picky about a lot of food, LOL!). Have a truly blessed day!!!
@@LetsCookYall Really? I love Alfredo! So I thought the crab as Alfredo would be a great idea.☺️ I love crab salad as well but it seems like almost everytime we get imitation crab we make crab salad so I wanted to make something different. Also I am from FL. =D ..It gets really hot here too so I definitely know what you mean.
I made the soup for lunch and it was a success!😄 Delicious! I started out like how you made it except I went to the store yesterday and there was no canned crab meat🙁 and I forgot about the white wine vinegar. So I added fresh carrots and corn instead for extra filling.
I was afraid it wouldn't turn out because mistakes were made😅 (I forgot how long it took to cook carrots and crab can cook too quickly) but it was delicious! The crab stayed the right texture and after everything was heated, I had to turn it off and put the lid on and let the carrots set. They soften well. I was relieved. I also added chopped garlic and lime zest and lime juice to it and sauteed that first. Not the best substitute for the white wine vinegar but thought it would give a little extra flavor. The only problem was that it was too thick. But probably because I didn't have a lot of milk left (I also forgot half and half at the store lol. Milk and cream worked well but I didn't have enough milk). So it turned out more like a chowder or stew in itself but that's only because not a lot of liquid was added. Hopefully next time I'll remember the ingredients to make it a bit more like yours but while adding the clam chowder to it. The clam chowder added turned out a success. Thank you. You also have a blessed day!☺️
@@dutchessandkay2280 - I'm so glad it turned out, even with all of your modifications! I love adaptive and inventive cooking and it sounds like you are definitely a master at that! I would not have thought to add lime but I bet it gave it a nice zing of flavor! It's so odd to me, even now, that our stores no longer are reliable for finding all of the products on the shelves, that I could find without an issue, prior to covid. I've also seen crab out of stock, along with countless other items, in my grocery store lately. So good that you can make substitutions, or use items you have on hand, and make it work. I'm so glad that both of the recipes you tried were winners at your house, that's totally what we are hoping to help with! Enjoy your weekend, and have a truly blessed day! ---Stacy 😍💚
Love y’all! We live in Ponta Vedra (Jacksonville)/FL and just can’t do fake crab. However; I will use your wonderful recipes with the real stuff. Blessings to you both!
@Laura Reagan - Hey Laura!! Thank you so much for stopping by and watching this one, especially considering where you live, LOL! Girl, if I lived in Ponta Vedra and had all of that amazing seafood available, I wouldn't eat this either! Sadly, we don't have access to any of that here. Hope you are having a great week and will have a fun and relaxing weekend ahead :) Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
I’m curious. If you take your crab cake mixture without the bread crumbs and put them in an egg roll wrapper, do you think it would turn out ok?
@NessieSim - Hi there, and welcome!! Thank you so much for stopping by our channel, and for taking the time to watch and leave us a comment. We are so glad you are here, and we hope that you will enjoy the content on our channel. 💖💜 I have never thought to try that, but it's actually a great idea, sort of like a crab rangoon. I would think, personally, that you would definitely need more binder. The bread crumbs, along with the beaten egg, act as a binder to keep the crab mixture in a semi formed shape. Crab rangoons always have cream cheese in them, so I would try a bit of softened or whipped cream cheese with the mixture, if I were going to experiment. It sounds awesome though, and I bet it would work. If you try it, we'd love to hear if it worked for you or needed more ingredients to hold the mixture together. Take care and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚 P.S. I hope you've also seem our companion video to the Imitation Crab one, entitled What Can I Make with Egg Roll Wrappers... we didn't try a crab rangoon egg roll, but we did try several other variations to share :) So many fun options and varieties!!
Excellent Video 👍👍
Question how much vinegar do I add to the crab soup?
@Tami Campbell - Hi Tami! Thank you for stopping by, and Merry Christmas! The link to the full recipe is provided in the description, and is here: hambones.org/letscookyall/index.php/recipe/creamy-crab-soup/ The original recipe calls for 2 TABLEspoons of sherry, which I did not have, so I substituted two TEAspoons of white wine vinegar. Hope that helps! Have a blessed day --Stacy
Planning a trip to Sam's on Saturday and plan to get a bag of the crab meat. I am the only one in my house that eats it. If I get a large bag can I freeze some?
@elaine miller - Hi Elaine! Thank you so much for stopping by and watching our video! I did buy the extremely large bag of imitation crab at Sam's Club (it's a great price compared to the smaller packages in Walmart and regular grocery stores), but it was A LOT for TWO people! I knew that I wanted to recipe test and film these for the CZcams channel, and that we would need a lot of imitation crab. I would really hesitate to buy it if it were under normal conditions for the two of us, as we would likely not use it all before it went bad. I would probably NOT get it if I was just feeding one, because it's a LOT of meat. I have never tried to freeze it. I'm not sure because of the water content and how it's made, whether it would freeze well or not. I did a quick Google search and found mixed answers - some said yes, it is ok to freeze and others said no, it has already been frozen and you should not freeze again. So if it was me and I was the only one eating it, I would opt for the smaller package at Walmart or your grocery store, just the regular size and not the humungous warehouse sized pack from Sam's Club. Hope that helps!! Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
When should you add the white wine for the soup?
@Carlos Salcido - Hi Carlos! Thank you so much for stopping by our channel, and for taking the time to watch and leave us a comment. We are so glad you are here, and hope that you will enjoy the content on our channel. 💜 To answer your question, the original recipe for the creamy crab soup calls for 2 tablespoons of sherry (not white wine, though I'm sure it would work). I never have that on hand, so I just make a quick sub. You would add the wine or sherry at the same time as the half and half, just with the liquids. Hope that helps! Take care and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
@@LetsCookYall thank you so much i loved the video and my family loved th soup i made for them i hope you're doing well these days bless you and your family
@Carlos Salcido - I'm so happy to hear that you made it, and that it worked well for you and your family!!! We definitely love this soup and it's always a hit whenever I make it. I made it a few years ago for a "Souper Bowl" party, where an assortment of soups were brought to enjoy, and this soup was the only one that was completely gone, a big crockpot full! So everyone from our Sunday School class loved it, and they can be a tough crowd, LOL! So glad it was a hit for you too! We are well, and hope that you and your family are staying safe and healthy too. Take care, and have an incredibly blessed day!! ---Stacy
when do i add the white wine vinegar
@L L - Hi there! You can add the sherry (which I did not have, so I subbed a small amount of white wine vinegar), just with the rest of the ingredients. This soup is better if you give it time for the flavors to come together, so go ahead and add it with everything else. I hope you get a chance to make it, it's a huge favorite here! Have a wonderful and blessed day ---Stacy
This is my first time and I didn't know what to do with it I'm making the Alfredo.
@Owen Gratzer - Hi Owen! Thank you so much for stopping by our channel, and for taking the time to watch and comment. We are so glad you are here and hope that you will enjoy the content on our channel. 💜 The alfredo is good, but not our favorite (our personal favorite is either the crab salad or the creamy crab soup, but that's just us!!). It should be like a fettucine alfredo with shrimp or chicken, but you just use the imitation crab instead. I hope you get a chance to make it, and we'd love to hear back on whether or not it worked for you! Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
Hope you and Tim are doing well ❤️❤️❤️
@Christeen Price - we are doing really well, thank you Christeen! I hope you are, as well. Have a fun or relaxing weekend ahead! 😃👍💜
I'm here in south south texas but crab is so expensive. A can of lump crab about 6$ a bag of imitation 1$ ill make the crab cakes tonight!
@Cece Ruben - Hi there Cece! Thank you so much for stopping by our channel and especially for taking the time to watch and to leave us a comment. We are so glad you are here, and we hope that you will enjoy all of the content on our channel.💜 I hear ya on the cost of so many food items, but especially lump crab. It's crazy expensive where we live, so we rarely (really, never!) buy it. The imitation stuff is ok with us and we really enjoy the crab soup and the little crab cakes. I hope y'all enjoy them too, if you get a chance to make them! Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
Why would you have it chopped up in such a big chunks
If you're at Kroger anyway, they have the best flake style krab. There are some bad ones I've had, but the Kroger one is my favorite.
S J Elliott - thanks for the tip! I tend to either buy the Kemp brand or the big package at our Sams Club (like when I was doing recipe testing for these video segments), and had not tried the Kroger brand yet. I will try to catch it on sale soon, thanks 👍👍
@@LetsCookYall i just bought a big pack today, it's $6 I think.
I break it down by hand and pan fry it in sesame oil, then use it in salads. Also good if you dry batter it and deep fry. It pumps up. Surimi is great.
Fresh crab meat is obviously the best, but holy crap is it expensive! Also, if you're making crab cakes, with all those seasonings, imitation is perfectly fine. Splurging for the fresh there is just a waste of money.
@Frank Burns - Hi Frank, and welcome! Thank you so much for stopping by our channel, and for taking the time to watch and leave us a comment. We are so glad you are here, and hope that you will enjoy the content on our channel. 💜 You are so right - fresh crab is really difficult to find in the land-locked area where we live, and if you do find it, the price is outrageous. We are not overly discriminating (since we don't live near an area where fresh is available) and the imitation stuff works for us. Thanks again for stopping by, we appreciate the support! Take care and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
I didn’t find the dill sauce recipe

@@LetsCookYall I’m trying the soup tomorrow I’ll let you know how it turns out 💛
@Unpacking My Thoughts - Oooh, I'm so excited! It is definitely thicker and richer if you use half and half (instead of milk) and you add an extra package of imitation crab (or more from a warehouse sized pack from Costco or Sam's Club). I can't wait to hear how it works for you!! 💚💜💖
