Questions about Surimi
What is surimi made from?
Surimi is finely minced white fish, commonly pollock, washed and formed into a paste. Starch, salt, flavourings and colouring may be added; imitation crab sticks are one familiar shaped product made from it.
Can you eat surimi straight from the packet?
Most chilled surimi sticks are cooked during manufacture and ready to eat, so you can add them straight to salads or sandwiches. Keep them refrigerated and follow the packet’s instructions once opened.
How do you cook surimi without making it tough?
Surimi is already cooked, so add it near the end of cooking and heat just until piping hot. Stir it into a soup, fried rice or noodles for the last minute or two; prolonged frying or boiling can make it rubbery.
How long does surimi keep after opening?
Keep opened surimi covered in the fridge and use it within the time stated on the packet, usually within a few days. Freeze it only if the packet says it is suitable; thaw it in the fridge rather than on the worktop.
What can you make with surimi?
Slice it into a seafood salad with cucumber and mayonnaise, or add it to sushi rolls, rice bowls, omelettes and chilled pasta salads. Its mild, slightly sweet flavour also works with lemon, spring onions and a little chilli.
Does surimi contain fish or shellfish?
Surimi is made from fish, not shellfish, but imitation crab-style products can contain other ingredients such as egg, wheat or shellfish flavourings. Check the ingredient and allergen information if you need to avoid a particular food.
Is surimi a good source of protein?
A 30 g portion provides 4.6 g of protein and 30 kcal. It also provides 42.9 mg of sodium, so it is worth considering how much you add to a meal.
