Crab sticks are the most popular product of the entire post-Soviet space, which is an imitation of crab meat. They are made from fish protein or minced white fish with various additives to improve the taste. Alas, there is no natural crab meat in the composition of crab sticks at all. However, this product is undoubtedly tasty and, most importantly, capable of adding variety to the usual diet.
They are an affordable and budget product – a source of complete fish protein. It can also serve as an ingredient in a wide variety of dishes. Crab sticks are tasty and easy to use, as they are not raw fish and not even a semi-finished product – they are completely ready-to-eat fish products.
Composition
The composition of crab sticks may vary depending on the technology of their preparation and recipe. They usually consist of protein, water, low amounts of fat, and practically do not contain carbohydrates.
Also in the composition you can find soy, flavor enhancers, salt and sweeteners, stabilizers and food coloring, which is used to give the product the color of a real crab claw.
