        It is. It’s haddock/Pollock fish, processed with starch then Dyed red to make you think it’s crab. Their ok…but usually watery as all heck and mostly flavorless. Taste nothing like crab

          It’s disappointing, because they used to taste a lot nicer. I don’t know what’s changed, but the flavour is nowhere near as strong now 🙁

      Fish/crab sticks, processed fish flesh and some starch. Edible, smells like fish, no need to cook.

    Crab Rangoon

    Take these, I’m assuming that is a 450-500 gram package. In a stand mixer/ food processor combine these, 5-6 stalks of celery, 2 onions, 3-4 medium sized carrots, with about 1000 grams of plain cream cheese. Add in maybe a half tablespoon of MSG. Use a standard tablespoon to place in the center of a wonton skin, and fold the middle of each edge so that they are touching, and encasing the filling. The corners will naturally point up. Freeze overnight. Deep fry straight from the freezer for 1.5-2 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with sweet and sour, or duck sauce.

    They’re called “crab” rangoon because of the shape of the pastry. The four corners are the “legs” of the “crab”

    I have never been a big fan myself, but seeing what the chinese do with these on XHS, if i weren’t a vegetarian now i would be 100% giving them another look. I only ever had them in seafood salad really.

    They go a treat in homemade sushi rolls. I’ve got a pretty good pressure cooker sushi rice recipe that I used these for a lot.

  • Imitation crab?

    I actually never even consider it, even though it’s just as good as the real thing imo. Makin’ me wanna add 'em to my shopping list this week and make crab cakes. 🤤
