Question

What exactly is fake crab made of?

Answer 1

Mostly Pollock. The color is added.  Most do use a little bit of crab meat because the flavor is strong.  Occasionally monk fish is used.

Answer 2

other pieces of fish thats all white, and they process it and add a strip of that pink color....i saw it on tv getting made at the factory

Answer 3

It is made out of surimi which is any firm white fish, like hake,  that has been pulverized and then further processed.  When cooked it attains a slight rubbery texture that is similar to crab or lobster.  It is a good substitute for crab or lobster in salads.

Answer 4

fish with crab flavor added
