Surimi explained: So much more than a crabstick
When most people think of surimi, the first thing that comes to mind is the crabstick – perhaps in a sandwich or in California sushi rolls. But there is so much more to admire about the surimi sector than this classic product format, including the progressive way it continues to pioneer with innovative product development and bold new flavours.
Thanks to technological advancements, consumer markets the world over are swimming with everything from surimi shrimp and lobster to eel and even surimi ham. And so strong has been the impact of the industry, that it also makes crucial contributions to the security of many fishing fleets and fisheries.
