Can you tell the difference between imitation and real when eating it?

[naturekid]

Idk, the fact it isnt made from crab?

I dig surimi crab and lobster chunks. Crustaceans are delicious but I have to blank out the thought "scavenging arthropod" from my brain to eat them.

Only in North America has it been marketed as Imitation Crab. It was never intended to be a substitute for crab. It was a means of providing an inexpensive protein with good mouth feel from a fish that was considered inedible by the Japanese palate.

Imitation ANYTHING is just junk glued together. Eat the real shit

Imitation crab… Tried it and found it disgusting…

[ginnyweatherbee]

I don’t mind it, too much. I usually add it to pasta salad

[SuperCosmicMutantSquid]

I find it somewhat funny that krab isn't crab but still seafood because of the fish.

[GoHomeEdMck]

I don't eat sushi and I like butter so I like cod anyway looking like crab

[Medley]

Interesting and entertaining info. Some if these taste a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall a good idea.

[robertallison]

I love crabs, it's hard to watch this video and all the poor crabs suffering their last minutes or hours. It saddens me people can't be more humane.

[great-grandmakirk]
