Here's a video from Food Network's Unwrapped that showcases the horrifying industrial manufacturing process behind imitation crab: "Frozen slabs of Surimi... are mixed with starch, egg whites, and crab flavorings. Without the flavoring, mild Surimi has almost no taste at all... Next Surimi paste pumps over to the cook lines, where it extrudes out into thin ribbons..."
If you've ever been indifferent about imitation crab, this will change your mind. The cutesy music and Marc Summers' jovial tone contradict just how truly terrifying it all is.
