Real crab shells are not part of the ingredients in these products.

Buy crab cook it and serve it....
Imitation crab, made primarily from surimi (processed fish), should have a mild seafood scent. If it smells funky or off, it may be a sign that it has spoiled or gone bad. Proper storage and checking the expiration date can help ensure it remains fresh. Always trust your senses; if it smells unpleasant, it's best not to consume it.
There is probably a minute amount of fish oil in imitation crab meat because it is made out of fish. However, the best type of fish oil is from salmon because of its plentiful omega-3 fatty acids.
I don't think it should. I have been told that it is cheap fish dyed red. This persons answer was irresponsible and could cause someone a problem. Actually if you are allergic to shellfish you could be allergic to the imitation crab. I know because I am allergic to it. The meat itself made with Pollack which I am not allergic to. Depending on the company it can be flavored with real crab broth made from boiling the crab shells. When I eat it my lips itch and I get hives on my face. It took me three tries before I realized what caused the problem. If you have a problem with shellfish it is best not to eat the imitation either.
yes and no!! ;)
Yes, imitation crab, also known as surimi, is primarily made from Alaskan Pollock. The fish is processed into a paste and then flavored and colored to resemble the taste and appearance of real crab meat. Other ingredients may be added for texture and flavor, but Pollock is the main component.
