What are crab sticks?

The crab sticks are pieces of imitated crab meat, which were pushed together into the shape of the stick and often colored to make the red color similar to the crab shell. This type of meat is often more affordable for use in seafood and similar dishes, and because it is cooked during its processing, it can be consumed without further preparation. The type of meat used in the rods may vary between places and companies, although it is usually ground fish meat. The box sticks are very popular for use in a number of different kitchens, including food of various Asian nations and the US. Some types of sushi, such as California roles, are also usually produced using imitation crab meat, often from crab sticks. California roles usually consist of imitated crab meat, cucumbers and avocado or mango, which are rolled with rice on the outside and often sprinkled with sesame seeds.

This PRSuccess is often launched as "sticks of crab", because of the legal regulations that have forced the company not to use the word "crab" for packing for crab sticks that do not contain real crab meat. Generally, these sticks are made of fish meat, often white fish with meat, which has a slight taste and can easily add artificial or natural crab taste. For example, most crab sticks made and sold in the US use White Pollock from Alaska, which is ground, often marked with the Japanese word surimi , which means "ground fish".

Surimi for crab sticks is then usually processed with the addition of other ingredients, such as binding agents such as egg whites, and then shape to hold the meat together in a rounded or rectangular shape of the stick. Crab's flavor is often added to this mixture, and this may include artificial flavors or natural taste from the crab stock. Once the crab sticks are assembled and flavored, they are often immersed in a coloring tub to bothReds with outer red or orange to resemble the shell of the crab. During this process, the crab sticks are cooked, which means that although they must be stored in the refrigerator, they do not need any further preparation before consumption.
