Imitation crab meat, often labeled as "surimi," is a processed seafood product designed to replicate the taste and texture of real crab. Originating in Japan, it’s made from finely minced white fish, typically pollock, which is blended with starch, egg whites, sugar, and additives to achieve its crab-like flavor and appearance. This cost-effective alternative is popular in sushi, salads, and seafood dishes worldwide. Nutritionally, imitation crab is low in fat and calories, making it a lighter choice for meals. However, it offers less protein compared to real crab and includes added sugars, sodium, and preservatives, which may not suit all dietary needs. While it provides convenience and versatility, it’s less nutrient-dense and lacks the natural omega-3 fatty acids found in fresh seafood.
