Surimi sticks, also known as imitation crab, are a processed seafood product originating from Japan. Made primarily from white fish, like pollock, that is finely minced, blended with starch, egg whites, sugar, salt, and flavorings, surimi is then shaped into sticks resembling crab meat. Popular in Asian cuisine and often used in sushi, salads, and snacks, these sticks are valued for their mild flavor and versatility. Nutritionally, surimi sticks are low in fat and a source of protein, making them a lighter alternative to higher-fat seafood options. However, they often contain added sodium, sugars, and artificial flavorings, which may be a concern for those monitoring their sodium or processed food intake. While convenient and affordable, surimi sticks are less nutritionally dense compared to real seafood, lacking omega-3 fatty acids and other nutrients found in fresh fish. They're best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
