Imitation crab, also known as surimi, is a seafood product made from finely minced white fish, such as pollock, blended with starch, egg whites, sugar, salt, and flavorings to mimic the taste and texture of real crab. Originating in Japan, it is commonly used in sushi, salads, and seafood dishes across global cuisines due to its affordability and convenience. Nutritionally, imitation crab is low in fat and calories, making it a lighter protein option. However, it is highly processed and often contains added sodium, artificial flavors, and preservatives, which may be a drawback for some dietary needs. It also lacks the natural omega-3 fatty acids found in real crab. Despite this, imitation crab remains a popular choice for those seeking a budget-friendly, versatile ingredient with a mild seafood flavor.
