Crab sticks are an artificially produced product. It is made from surimi - ground meat of white fish or fish protein. In appearance, they resemble meat from crab claws, hence the name came from.

Naturally, this product has nothing to do with natural crab meat. Most sticks sold on the domestic market are made in China and the countries of the former USSR.

There are a number of similar products made on the basis of components that are not related to marine fauna in general: egg or soy protein, starch, dyes and flavorings.

Red rectangular crab sticks can be easily unwound like a thread cheese. Often, culinary specialists use this very method if they want to cook a cold appetizer in a stuffed form. They are added to salads as an ingredient (a budget substitute for real crab meat).

There are many options for fillings:

• Egg, cheese, garlic, mayonnaise;
• Shrimp, dill, cream cheese, egg, mayonnaise sauce;
• Cod liver, walnuts, eggs, sour cream;
• Fried mushrooms, shrimp, hard cheese, onions, egg;
• Rice, egg, fresh cucumber, mayonnaise;

Stuffed crab sticks

A classic of this dish is a filling of farm cottage cheese, fresh dill and homemade sour cream. As you can see, a minimal set of products will be required, but an unusual snack will be obtained.

Some chefs recommend dipping crab product in boiling water for several seconds before use. So it will be softer and turn around without extra effort. But after cooling the sticks will become stiff, all the moisture will go away, so you decide what to do in this situation.

Transfer the cottage cheese into a deep bowl, pour in the previously washed and chopped dill, add salt and put sour cream. Stir the mixture with a fork until homogeneous.

Put a filling on the unfolded edge with a small spoon and rewind the roll, slightly crushing, so that the filling is well connected to the base. The roll will increase significantly in volume.
