I always hear people saying, "how do they make fake crab?" So, I looked into it. It is pretty gross.

Krab (with a k) is made with Surimi, a tasteless slurry/paste of processed assorted white fish with chemical flavoring and texture additives. Yum!

You can read a little about the process here:

I think this would make a great episode for How It's Made.
