I find roe from steamed crabs reminds me of uni. I've never tried raw
crab roe. Just wonder if it could substitute for uni.

That's not roe. That's kani miso (aka crab shit). The best part of the
crab.

Dan, the kani miso is the brownish stuff that is under the shell and packed
into the side corners
(points) of a softshell crab.
If I eat a hard shell blue claw I will take the shell, put in some sake and
mix the miso together.
I am not really sure if one could use kani miso for sushi as the original
poster asks because
all the raw kani miso I have seen (like when I split a live green crab for
tautog bait) is really
watery and far far softer than any uni. That said there may be some remote
place in Japan
that does use kani miso as neta. But it certainly is not mainstream.
Also, taste wise although I do see the resemblance to uni, I personally find
the taste also
resembles ankimo a bit.
Kani miso, in the case of a lobster is called tomaly in English.

Thanks David. I could have gone my whole life without that description. ;-)

You're right that it's not necessarily mainstream, but it's probably a lot
more ubiquitous than you think. For example, kani miso sushi (as gunkan
maki), is served at all of the Bikkuri Sushi restaurants in Tokyo. Bikkuri
Sushi is a kaiten (conveyor-belt) sushi chain with dozens of locations
throughout Tokyo. I've also seen it served at many other lower-end
sushi restaurants in Tokyo.

Thats intersting to know. Next time i am in tokyo i must try it.
I'd presume it is kani miso from King crab or snow crab.
Have you tried it personally? If so, how did you find the taste and texture?

Sure, I get it quite often and it's pretty cheap - something like
150 or 200 yen for two pieces. It's usually not just the kani
miso, though. Most places put a little bit of shredded crap on
the rice, then add a dollop of kani miso on top. It's tasty and
the texture is fine, but I prefer just kani miso by itself, especially
if it's eaten directly from a freshly boiled crab. As gunkan maki
the taste is muted a bit too much by the rice and nori.

Is the kanimiso in the sushi cooked or not?

I almost wish I could say that the above typo was
by design, but alas it wasn't.

CRAP, and I usually proofread before sending.

Don't worry, Glenn. I doubt anyone really gives a crab.
