Footballjoe Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 You see it on most all salad bars. Just wondering if someone knows what it really is and if its good for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furd Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I believe that it is cod or pollack with crab flavoring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

detlef Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 you know? i don't mind it.. i just don't like it when it is passed off as crab. Sort of how I feel. It's just sort of tasty, kinda sweet, fish flavored stuff. If you can be at peace with that... However, crab it is not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footballjoe Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 you know? i don't mind it.. i just don't like it when it is passed off as crab. I have been trying to eat better and trying to lose a few pounds. (40 to be exact). I have been eating a salad for lunch for the past two weeks. I usually put a scoop or two in my salad. i like it mixed in but I do agree its not crab meat. I live around the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic and have caught my own crabs for years. This fake stuff does not compare but its not bad mixed in the salad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back when I was a health nut and in awesome shape, I use to eat it straight out of the package. Low carb and decent amount of protein.

isleseeya Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) i like it apparently surimi is also used to make fake crab meat ...not sure though what they use to make fake surimi though Edited January 30, 2008 by isleseeya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Dick Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I hardly ever eat seafood in KC. And if I do, it's usually at an upscale place. As Alice Cooper once said: "Never order the catch of the day in Kansas City. You can be sure it hasn't been anywhere near water within 24 hours." Now fresh largemouth bass or crappie, which I catch myself and eat within about a 12 hour span, is the bomb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh B Tool Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Pollack, whiting, lump crab meat, mirin, fish sauce, egg whites, salt, sugar and a few other seasonings, fillers and preservatives. If it is top shelf surimi(which BTW is the name of fake crab) it will also have a bit of snow crab meat in it. There is some real good stuff(many wouldn't be able to tell the diff) and there is mostly real mediocre stuff depending on price point and where you buy it. The stuff in most grocery stores and/or salad bars is middle of the road, but passable. Worked as Monger and in R&D for the largest seafood and surimi distributor in the U.S. Gorton's, Mrs. Fridays, you name it, we made it. So, I know a bit too much about the stuff, but still eat certain brands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
