Surimi (which means "minced fish muscle") is a concentrated fish with added salt and other additives. It has high nutritional properties, is very versatile, making it ideal in warm weather, can be used to prepare salads, cocktails, soups, rice dishes, sushi, etc.. It is very economical and from Japanese origin, it was produced by artisanal fishermen with fish that were not salable because they were very small, with many thorns or soft, etc.., in order to market them. The better quality surimi is one that is whiter and less smelly.

Hey, thanx for the recipes. I cooked (if such can be called cooking) the “tacos dorados de surimi”. And they are really delicious. My family loved it, but only a bit of advice: Instead of mixing the mayonnaise and the “chipotle” chili with all the other ingredients, cook only the surimi with the onion n garlic using butter N oil. Then by mashing the chili at the same time you mix it with the mayonnaise youll get a delicious kind of dip sauce. Thank u again.

I didn?t know about this kind of food and now I?m curious about it, so maybe you could tell me where can I find surimi? I?m interested in the taste since it says it is really salty and well of course the idea of finding a new healthy food motivates my mind!

Surimi is imitation crab. Nothing more, nothing less. It can be found just about anywhere.
Kelly
its taste is very similar to the original one, and it is a lot way cheaper than the normal crab, so getting it is a good idea if you are going to prepare something that really requires many crab meat in it, almost all of these recipes need that so keep in mind when choosing original or imitation

I’ve never heard of surimi food before, but it sounds amazing!! I love trying new, epsecially ethnic foods, and these recipes are definitely right up my ally! I love that all the recipes use fairly common ingredients, and for ost of them, I wouldn’t even need to make a special trip to the store. I already have them at home!
