Imitation Crab Meat is a tasty seafood alternative made primarily from surimi, a fish paste derived from white fish like pollock. Originating from Japanese cuisine, it brings a delightful sweetness and texture reminiscent of real crab. Packed with protein and lower in calories than traditional crab, it’s a smart choice for weight management. Plus, it’s often enriched with omega-3 fatty acids. However, keep an eye on sodium content, as some brands can be high in salt. Enjoy it in salads, sushi, or your favorite pasta dishes for a satisfying and flavorful experience!
