I grew up eating imitation crab salad. My mom would cut it up along with bell peppers, onions, and olives with a “dressing”. To this day I don’t know the exact recipe, but it tasted amazing.

I once toured an imitation crab factory. Very interesting. The used pollock that was ground to a puree with seasoning added. The most interesting part was the cooking process. It was extruded in a very thin strip along a conveyor belt then rolled , cut and package in the same belt.

Hi Emmy! I’d like to try these with Old Bay Seasoning. I think that would enhance the seafood flavor.

Hey! I actually made mine with Old Bay and if you ask me, they were not good at all 😣 and I usually love crab with some old bay and butter!

I just finished making some with old bay and I'm enjoying them! I did a pretty light dusting when I added the oil and I'm glad I did it then versus adding old bay after frying. You never know until you try!

I love how careful you are about harsh sounds in your videos. A couple of videos back you had many bowls/plates for ingredients and you placed each one so carefully so that they weren't a loud, harsh sound. You did it in this video too. Placing a jar down so carefully. I appreciate your extra attention to detail, Emmy. Your videos are so relaxing!!

Costco in the UK actually sell these made from CRAB, and this method works fantastic with those. Made a mint Riata dip to go with them. I made 2 batches, one with the imitation and one with the crab,, Big difference in flavour. grandkids NEED MORE of either one so #success .hahahaha Great Vid Emmy 🙂

[@dominicfigueroa9592]

I use to work at a sushi restaurant and we had imitation crab (krab) and the kind we got would become little shredded pieces when crushed them by hand. We would then fry them and use as garnish, and of course I'd throw it on some rice for a quick Scooby snack for myself .....Mmmmmm

[@StormSongs7]

Winn-Dixie used to carry Fisherman’s Wharf brand that was really good. I’ve tried other brands but they taste “soapy” to me. I mix this with a small sized pasta, red & yellow bell peppers, celery, onions & mayonnaise. I dice the veggies small, around a 1/4 to 1/2 inch pieces and layer them on multiple paper towels to drain overnight in the fridge. If that step is skipped, all the juices release after it all put together and it looks awful & gets watered down… Basically a glorified macaroni salad. One pound of elbows or other small pasta to 2 pounds of faux crab meat.

[@teridoster5840]

Yes! I make that as well, I use ditalini pasta, although as a kid my mom always used elbow macaroni, prob bcuz it was easier to aquire in the 70's and 80's

[@scribeoflafayette]

Me too! I like penne pasta though, and I add a ton of lemon juice.

[@sissinoklahoma2057]

Have you tried the Aldi's (grocery store) store brand of imitation crab? It's better than any other I've tried and cost less than $2 a pack. We buy them and clarify butter and eat them like crab legs. I'm allergic to shellfish so these hit the spot!

[@bitchenboutique6953]

I love fake crab! I keep it around all the time. Love making “crab” salad and “crab” cakes with it. I feel like I would probably use my favorite lemon and dill seasoning if I made the chips! Its got MSG in it and the powder is super fine so it would cover them beautifully I think!

[@BBB-rd2qi]

That sounds delicious! Great idea.

[@ashleyw9111]

I love this idea. We always end up with extra imitation crab when we make California rolls at home and this seems like a great way to use up the rest!

Well, there _is_ a better (and shorter) name: the original japanese "surimi". We use that word in France. I love surimi! Didn't know you could make chips out of them. I'll have to try that. Note that some surimi brands have a better crab taste than others. Some even do contain actual crab.
