What is imatation crab?

Its alaskan pollok or another mild underused fish flavored with crab stock that has much lower cholesterol. I can't say this for every shell fish allergy person but its great beeing able to eat seafood like this without a trip to the emergency room for aniflectic shock. There is a Japanese word for this called Surimi. Which creates everything from shrimp to crab even lobster. Mostly imitation crab is used in california rolls (coughs california imitation fusion sushi) But was originaly used for fishcakes for 100's of years in japan. Anyway hope this answers your question. Ps Artifical crab of course uses things like cornstarch and other food additives as binder but really is nothing to scary.
