Imitation crab, also known as "surimi," is a seafood product made primarily from fish paste, typically Alaskan pollock, combined with starch, sugar, egg whites, and flavorings to mimic the taste and texture of real crab. Originating from Japan, it is a versatile ingredient widely used in sushi rolls, salads, and seafood dishes worldwide. While imitation crab offers a low-cost alternative to real crab and is low in fat and calories, it is not as nutritious. Its protein content is lower than fresh seafood, and it may contain added sugars, salt, and preservatives. It is also not suitable for those with gluten intolerance if wheat starch is included. However, its affordability and convenience make it a popular choice for quick meals and recipes, though it’s best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
