So to make it at home, I just pulverize whitefish in the food processor, add in ice half way through, then add seasonings, and some natural food dye. Roll it out into a thin layer, shred it, then roll it at an angle. Got it, that will save me some $'s.
They sell actual crab meat in a can. Mix it with bread crumbs. Use planko or a fish fry batter to coat them and deep fry. No need for extra steps and it's ACTUALLY a crab stick. Similar to crab cakes or salmon croquet, Sammy pattie(salmon cakes)😂
Actually the process looks controlled and quite clean. This is basically a fish cake and as an Asian with a fishcake addiction this is a total win for me

I always loved these and after watching this I only want to eat them more now. I kinda want my girlfriend to chew them up for me and then puke them into my mouth like a mother bird feeding its chick. You're a woman right? How do you think she'd react if I told her that's what I want for my birthday this year?
they are mostly from pollock fish and add crab essence... so mostly they are fish than crab... but nothing crucial or bad... the main problem call it crab sticks... more like fish stick with crab falvor lol... :/
@sk8terfreak1100 Have you ever tried it with melted butter or fried it in butter? Oh, and this other day, I fried some in butter and put ketchup on them, and they were really good 😋
atleast it's still made from protein sources, in my country, crab stick would only be made from 10% meat, and the rest of it is starch, flour, and seasoning as the majority of the ingredients

Fun fact: Shellfish allergies stem from being exposed to cockroaches for an extended period of time. Actually, cockroaches themselves don't directly cause shellfish allergies. However, they can indirectly contribute to them. Cockroaches carry certain proteins that are similar to those found in shellfish. When people are exposed to these proteins through cockroach allergens, it can sometimes trigger allergic reactions in those who are sensitive to shellfish, leading to an association between cockroaches and shellfish allergies.
Never knew that about the similar proteins... Interesting, because I've always associated the two for the fact that both scavenge and eat waste off the floor as their main source of food and always thought that was the main reason for association. I love shellfish, but they kind of are the "bugs" of the ocean....
Holy Sh‼️ I'm going to go dig in depth into this connection. After going through a series of allergy tests with an Allergist, people always find it strange when they hear my allergies are roaches and shellfish. After spending the night at a friend's house, I wouldn't enter my home with my twins until I had emptied all of our overnight bags on the porch in -10° celsius weather and shaking everything out.. because never again with those nasty bugs.. Thank God.

What does content creator will fail to understand because clear inbreeding in their family is that there's a difference between imitation crab and crab meat
Can't eat crab, but this is top tier... I once bought the expensive version of this bc of how much I love it... Back then I didn't know that it was fish and I can't eat crab... So the expensive one was actually a crab, like real crab... So I fainted... Worth it... Absolutely
@@koDaffiit’s called imitation crab it’s made out of Alaskan pollock. It’s a very cheap alternative or for people with shellfish allergy. It does not taste like shellfish crab though it’s very sweet tasting.
I’ve always thought crab sticks were gross, but I’ve never known anyone who thought imitation crab sticks were actually crab. At this point it’s common knowledge that a lot of foods are created this way. Fish paste isn’t even crazy or bad, the process of making the food in the factory isn’t bad either. I just hate crab sticks lol, so gross, weird texture and taste. But yea, if this freaks you out you should see how ALL your food is made!
The only thing i find unappealing is the fact that it was made in a factory. Honestly just kinda weird to see it get made but i don't give two shits what they're made out of
Imitation crab meat is fish. No one should care unless you're allergic to fish.
Literally the only reason I care lol why would you voluntarily eat imitation?
@@X139Tbecause it's cheaper, also some people just like the taste of the product itself, regardless of if it is an imitation or not.
@@vincentharvey6133 that’s fair, I mean it’s not bad, and its wayyyyyyy cheaper than actual crab…I wish I could eat shellfish 🥲
@@X139Twell that's another good reason to eat imitation, when you're allergic to the real thing.
Surumi is usually cheap so i recommend getting some whenever you get a chance
Something tells me you just dont want people to eat imitation crab legs
Lol 😂 100% a vegan made thus video
Big Crab up to no good per usual
🤣
I'm still gonna eat it
When I am at a restaurant and something says it has crab, I always ask the waitress if it's imitation or real crab.
This just makes me want some. It’s the hot dog of the fish world.
does this mean I can put a imitation crab stick on a hot dog bun and not be a weirdo?
I was about to say the same thing. Just like hotdog. Scrapple. Ect. Don’t change my mind 😊
Indeed 🧐
🤮 🤮🤮
What do you expect me most of that stuff is manufacturing anyway
So to make it at home, I just pulverize whitefish in the food processor, add in ice half way through, then add seasonings, and some natural food dye. Roll it out into a thin layer, shred it, then roll it at an angle. Got it, that will save me some $'s.
This stuff is dirt cheap already 😂😅😂

As Asian, I wouldn't touch it with a 10-foot pole. Let alone saving $. Eating imitation crab is like having a desire to wear fake Rolex. Superficial !
It's also mixed with sea urchin
Yup...you got it👏🏽😊

I mean it looks infinitely better than McNuggets being processed.
True
Really, your sick in the nogen
Really? How are they prossesed? And how is it better?
@salvyballacc this is fish meet, not fake meat
Facts
“You’ll never want it again” idk man looks pretty good to me
If I eat McNuggets and hotdogs, there’s no way I’d stop eating imitation crab legs.
They make me feel like I’m not drowning in debt.
Yes that's why its labeled "IMITATION CRAB MEAT" instead of "CRAB MEAT"
Is it really?
Yes but this moron doesn't know the difference, he put in all this pointless effort on making this pointless ass short he literally thought he did something their 🤦♂️
@@kd4114lol yeah? You go to the grocery every week, read your food this week I encourage you. You may also find ‘dairy products’ in place of cheese 🤫
Right? If you think crab sticks are made from crabs for that price. What’s there to say lol
@@kd4114 yes it really is
I don't care how they're made, I still love them. 😊

That was my exact thought
Yea if it taste good and it doesn’t make me sick who cares how it’s made 💯
Gross
Same and it’s cheaper than real crab too.
Imitation crab is amazing! Also have you tried Naruto Maki or fish cakes? It’s literally the same stuff. Fish paste. And it’s delicious
I’m not a fan and have never been. Never tastes good to me
@@bagofsoda7464 didn’t ask
Not much different than any of the other processed garbage we eat.
How is any of this bad? Sure it's not real crab but there's nothing wrong here
@@nicolaecalin4217 Right. As long as it's labeled as imitation, and you know what you're getting, What's the big deal?
When the word "IMITATION" is on the packaging, what do you expect? 🤤👍
I don't see no problem unless they are making it out of plastic, at least it's fish in there. I see no problem here
Hence…IMITATION crab.
Exactly. OP missed the point. The people who like to eat this know they're not eating REAL crab meat... but they don't care.
My guy didn’t bother reading the packaging. lol
On the contrary, after seeing such a clean sterile controlled environment and the process, I kind of want some now.
Me who saw the video snacking on crab sticks and proceeded to take two more servings as the video plays again.. 😂😂😂😂
This is pretty much exactly how I expected them to be made.
Not gonna lie,... that made me hungry for mozzarella sticks 😂
😂😂😂❤
I see it. The white mozzarella cheeeeese😂❤
God Bless you in Jesus name❤
Remember God loves you whether you've been good or bad
Because God is LOVE❤
I see it too, with all does layers.😂😂😂
😂
I absolutely love them. Great work lads
Imitation crab is just the hot dog of the fish world. delicious. thank you for sharing this awesome video to show how clean it's made.
Alaskan Pollock is used for many "fake" products. alot of fish products use this to make fish sticks. its fine.
Correct
As someone allergiec to shellfish, I like fake crab. It's a nice treat once in a while 😅
Still looks good to me.

Ryte ima still eat me some crab meat stick
I love them.Battered crab sticks 😋
Heres a tip: throw a little crab boil seasoning on it to theow off the sugar taste and you're good. Immitation crab will always be in my fridge
I get imitation crab as long as they’re not adding anything toxic in it. I’m fine with it.
they are mostly from pollock fish and add crab essence... so mostly they are fish than crab...
but nothing crucial or bad... the main problem call it crab sticks... more like fish stick with crab falvor lol... :/

I’m going to the store later and I’m gonna get some cuz I forgot how much I love em 🤷🏽♀️ lol

Great in sushi or in ramen
Definitely not
@atlantageorgia2977 ok don't eat it then lol
Imitation crab, pineapples, celery, mayo: crab salad
Ooooooh
You might say this is crap but this is the closest thing someone like me allergic to crabs can eat crabs.

lol dude, in the Philippines we make deep fried fish balls out of that paste and it’s super good. With sweet and sour sauce.
I ain’t even tripping
I ate this when I was a kid. Alot of it and I'm still alive. It taste good.
"imitation crab meat"
Like.........need I say more 😂
They still make for lovely California rolls. Tasty fish paste.
Well they still taste good
I think it's funny how we can all agree imitation crab is absolutely nothing like actual crab but its tasty enough to where we all just don't care
Imitation crab is like a hot dog version of
I love it to. Make more of it.
Who tf didn't know imitation crab wasn't made out of crab meat😂
So why don’t they just call them fish sticks if there’s no crab in them
They act like it’s a conspiracy to hide the fact that imitation crab meat is not real crab meat? The label says it all lmao
I want a crab hot dog now 😂
Everyone in this comments section is immovable and unconquerable
