Imitation Crab Leg Meat (Surimi)

This is surimi — imitation crab, not crab. It is made from white fish paste, shaped and coloured to look like crab leg meat, and it is a staple of Japanese and Korean cooking in its own right rather than a substitute anyone should be embarrassed about.

The texture is soft and slightly springy, the flavour mild and gently sweet. It comes ready to eat straight from the pack, which is why it turns up in California rolls, seafood sticks and salads all over the world.

Why Choose It?

• Ready to eat: no cooking needed — thaw and use.
• Mild and sweet: easy flavour that children generally like.
• Good source of protein: made from white fish, low in fat.
• Keeps well and costs little: a fraction of the price of picked crab meat.
• Generous pack: enough for a big batch of rolls or a family salad.

How to Use It:

• Sushi and California rolls: the classic use, shredded or whole.
• Seafood salad: shredded with Japanese mayonnaise, cucumber and corn.
• Hotpot: straight in — it only needs warming.
• Fried rice or noodles: torn into strips and added at the end.
• Snack: pulled apart and eaten as is, which is how most of it disappears.

Please Note — What This Is:
Imitation crab meat, made from fish surimi. It contains no crab meat. If you are after real crab, see our Snow Crab Meat or Sand Crab Meat instead. Surimi normally contains fish and wheat — check the pack if you have an allergy.

Storage:
Keep frozen at -18°C. Thaw in the refrigerator and use promptly once thawed. Do not refreeze.
