What is Imitation Crab (Surimi)?

Imitation Crab (aka Crab Sticks) are typically made from pollock or whiting fish which is processed into a paste and then made into various different forms and shapes, such as crab sticks, pieces etc. It's a common ingredient you see in sushi and Japanese recipes.

Substitutes for Crab Sticks?

If you are gluten free sometimes finding a gluten free version of this can be hard to source. The great news is that this recipe will also work with fresh crab (but can be pretty expensive) or even cooked prawns or shrimps).

Vegetarian Variation

I sometimes make this salad as a vegetarian version too. I just double up on the eggs and add in some grated cheddar. The simple garlic mayo goes well with any salad.

How long will the salad keep?

The made up salad with the mayo, should keep about 3 days in the fridge, so perfect if you want to make it for just one to enjoy the next day. Keep the imitation crab with the mayo in a tub separate to the rest of you salad and you can just plate up as you want it.
