Making sushi.............?

Question

Hey im hinking about making sushi. the kind with the crab in it. Where can i get that crab? I know the market, of coarse, but is it that packaged crab? And do i need to shred it up or anything and mix it with anything to get that soft texture? Help! Lol. Do i need to mix it with mayo or something?

Answer 1

it's not crab but surimi

it's basically imitation crab made from fish

you can pick them up in the fish rayon of most supermarkets

Answer 2

You can buy imitation crab which i chop really fine or you can buy expensive fresh crab out of a can

Answer 3

it's called artificial crab stick. you can find it in the frozen section.

lay it on top of your nori wrapper, cooked sticky rice, cucumber slice, mango/avocado. add japanese mayo. roll.

Answer 4

the ones i know with crab in it actually have surimi sticks in them. Its imitation crab. You dont need to chop it or shape it, it already has a stick dhape. Just roll it in. In holland you can buy it at any fish store, or in supermarkets at the fish department. Good luck. Also a good thing to know; when you shape the rice, make sure to keep your hands wet to prevent sticking.
