Surimi is a type of processed seafood often made from finely ground white fish, such as pollock, combined with starch, egg whites, salt, sugar, and flavoring. Originating in Japan, it’s widely recognized as the base for imitation crab and other seafood analogs found in sushi rolls, salads, and casseroles. Surimi is valued for its affordability and versatility across various cuisines. It’s rich in protein, low in fat, and contains essential nutrients like phosphorus and selenium. However, it’s also high in sodium, and some versions may include artificial flavors or preservatives, so moderation is recommended. While it offers a convenient way to enjoy seafood flavors, those seeking whole food options may prefer fresh fish for its superior nutritional profile and lower processing. Whether as a sushi ingredient or snack, surimi provides an accessible and flavorful addition to many dishes.
