About Surimi Seafood
Surimi is known as imitation crab, but there’s nothing fake about it.
The word “surimi” is a Japanese term that translates to mean “ground meat” and is a form of Kamaboko, a highly regarded Japanese food created in the 12th century. Surimi, or imitation crab, generally refers to the product that results after seafood (typically Wild Alaska Pollock) goes through a two-step process, the end result of which is an odorless seafood with a flavor, shape, and texture that can be manipulated into any number of forms and flavors.
The most common form of surimi is what we see in popular dishes like California rolls, crab salad used in poke bowls, and various other seafood based dips. Although these products frequently refer to imitation crab as the main ingredient, there is nothing fake about it. Louis Kemp uses whole meat Wild Alaska Pollock as the main ingredient of our final product to create the finished crab and lobster flavored seafood you will find at your local grocery stores.
