To thy own self be true

I like to get whiskey shitfaced and eat six packs of imitation crab.

Oh no you don't! Stabbo Crabbo, he's eating something that kinda tastes like you but isn't! Get 'im!
- Mess with the crab, you get the stab. I have a picture I made of that on another phone. Sadly not this one.

I fucking love imitation crab, so fun to peel apart and eat like string cheese.

Imitation crab tastes great, and isn’t really all that similar to crab. It’s a fish product good enough to stand up for itself, does not need to hide

That's the general consensus in my social circle as well. It's not fooling anybody, but we appreciate it for what it is. Fishham with shellfish flavoring.

I hate those, it tastes like sweet fish.

That's exactly what it is

If you enjoy this, never lookup how its made.

I still eat it though.

Is it like a fish hotdog or something?
- The electrical industrial machinery that are used to manufacture this specific product includes names like "scum sucker" and "meat pump". These are pumps that were designed to move fluids, and the "meat" moves like a fluid under pressure. The chutes that move the solids - before they become... a sort of slurry - collect lighter fats, skin, and scales and they form a sticky gelatinous stalactite. They grow up to a meter or two before they break and fall.
  It is a sight to see. My favorite cannery was on an active volcano. You had to take a hovercraft to get there; or a helicopter in high winds; and if the weather was too bad you had to hitch a ride with the haulers. Those things walz through extreme swells like it tickles. Not far from dutch harbor. I think it was akutan. Pretty wild though. Still can't eat the stuff, I took one of those fish tentacles down the back of my shirt, and I threw those clothes away. They also made fich sticks. Same recipe I suppose.

Surimi with a bit of melted butter is better than popcorn.

holy shit I'm just learning about this now?!?! I have a mild allergy and apparently I can now enjoy* one of my favorite foods I've been unable to eat for years?!?! thank you so much OP 🩷🩷

*I just get really inflamed and feel horrible if I eat it. I won't die, just not a good experience. An article says it's like ~2% crab meat and even if I have a horrible experience I think it's worth a try with a benadryl on hand.

Just don't look up how it's made. I still eat it but it's definitely on my mind when I do.
- Sort of like hot dogs. I’ll eat them, but try not to know, how they’re made

I hate imitation, crab.

Ok ._.

Alan's fact of the day.

I've had both real and imitation crab side by side and I honestly can't tell the difference by taste. Texture, sure, but not taste.
