I've had both real and imitation crab side by side and I honestly can't tell the difference by taste. Texture, sure, but not taste.

That is really bizarre because they do not taste the same.

They do when they are equally slathered in garlic butter.

holy shit I'm just learning about this now?!?! I have a mild allergy and apparently I can now enjoy* one of my favorite foods I've been unable to eat for years?!?! thank you so much OP 🩷🩷
*I just get really inflamed and feel horrible if I eat it. I won't die, just not a good experience. An article says it's like ~2% crab meat and even if I have a horrible experience I think it's worth a try with a benadryl on hand.

Just don't look up how it's made. I still eat it but it's definitely on my mind when I do.

Is it like a fish hotdog or something?

I looked up how it's made. I don't understand what's objectionable about it. Not seeing any step or ingredient in the process that I haven't used in my own kitchen, minus the mass production and food colouring.

The electrical industrial machinery that are used to manufacture this specific product includes names like "scum sucker" and "meat pump". These are pumps that were designed to move fluids, and the "meat" moves like a fluid under pressure. The chutes that move the solids - before they become... a sort of slurry - collect lighter fats, skin, and scales and they form a sticky gelatinous stalactite. They grow up to a meter or two before they break and fall.
It is a sight to see. My favorite cannery was on an active volcano. You had to take a hovercraft to get there; or a helicopter in high winds; and if the weather was too bad you had to hitch a ride with the haulers. Those things walz through extreme swells like it tickles. Not far from dutch harbor. I think it was akutan. Pretty wild though. Still can't eat the stuff, I took one of those fish tentacles down the back of my shirt, and I threw those clothes away. They also made fich sticks. Same recipe I suppose.

Sound a little like Chicken Nuggets. And those are great

That's exactly what it is

No this paper was definitely talking about pens and various hand tools. Nothing biologic at all.
I knew the paper was about something else, I was applying the philosophy to the picture of imitation crab.

Imitation crab tastes great, and isn’t really all that similar to crab. It’s a fish product good enough to stand up for itself, does not need to hide

Sort of like hot dogs. I’ll eat them, but try not to know, how they’re made

Did you wake up crabby?
Who, me? Yes, you!
Well, you woke up crabby,
Let me tell you what to do:
Put a crab stick in your face!
We've got all the crabs in the same place,
It'll rid you of all your acne and your flab,
The only thing it can't do is be real crab!

wrote on last edited by [email protected]That's the general consensus in my social circle as well. It's not fooling anybody, but we appreciate it for what it is. Fishham with shellfish flavoring.
