fake crab rescue

[songbird]

the other day we made a usual stir fry with mixed frozen
vegetables and some of the fake crab. it is pretty bland
as far as dishes go as we don't put anything other than a
bit of olive oil and butter in with it. i'm ok with being
able to taste just the vegetables with the hints of salt,
butter and olive oil.

in years past we were able to find brands that didn't have
any fishy taste to them, but then a few years ago all of the
brands we liked that didn't have that off taste to them
weren't available any more so we didn't buy it as often.

so while the dish was edible it wasn't very enjoyable.
this morning i had to do something to it to make it more
edible, i put some sour cream, dried basil and then some
hot sauce on it, mixed it all together and then i finished
it off. the basil and hot sauce did just what they needed
to do. :)

what is really funny is that i do just fine eating canned
tuna, sardines, salmon and even herring steaks and smoked
fish. i also eat fish of other kinds and do ok as long as
they're not super strong fishy tasting but for some reason
i just don't like this fake crab stuff to smell or taste
fishy. i guess i'm spoiled. :)

My rule of thumb is: never heat fake crab

It's never failed me.

I despise real crab, why would I try fake crab... even the cats won't
eat it, can't blame them, served crab all I see are their cockaroach
faces.
And I like canned/processed fish; herring, kippers, anchovy, etc... a
favorite is matjes herring, smoked whitefish is sublime.

Fake crab is awful. It's probably more awful if heated. It's not even the
rubbery texture. I could deal with that. It doesn't taste good. The only
time I ever eat fake crab is the tiny, tiny flecks of it in crab rangoon from
the Chinese takeout place.

Canned fish is great if it's not tuna or mackeral. Pink salmon is
pretty unappealing too. I buy kippers at Dollar Tree. $1.

That's just a kosher Jewish hangup of yours.

California roll. I've eaten more fake crab in California roll than in any
other preparation.

Trans-Ocean is the best brand, IMO.

I had a fake crab nigiri the other day. It was a fail because the ball of rice collapsed and the chopped crab material fell off the top. It was a structurally unsound sushi. It was pretty cheap at $1.55 for two pieces though. :)

That's the most ridiculous thing I ever heard. It think you meant to say "fake crab taco." Mexicans don't eat sushi, although my brother's sushi chef is a Mexican. That's just so weird.

All those fish varieties you named will depend on the brand you buy
whether they are good or unappealing.

Same, here. Just last week I had a small tray of California roll; darn good.

Golden Coral has a Krab salad that's pretty decent. It's probably
just mayo and minced celery, but I can't seem to get it right at
home.

Yeah, but you have TIAD. Crab is the best seafood of all. But
nothing smaller than dungeness for me. Screw the picking of blue
crabs. I'll do soft shell blue crabs, though. They're not that
stellar, but at least you don't have pick them. I remember one year
- probably 1996 or so, they were $1.50/lb first couple weeks of
February. I just surgery to place seven screws and a plate in my
lower leg and ankle. But dammit, I waddled the two blocks starting
at 6:30 am to get there at 7:AM when, every other day for almost 2
weeks to buy every crab they had.

Then I had to my time getting back because the liquor store didn't
open until 9:AM. You can't take Norco (10mg hydrocodone) without
hard liquor - that would be a waste or Norco.

that is actually my preferred way to eat it too.
cold, right from the package. Mom, not being the
heathen i am, will not usually eat it cold like
that and instead she wants it warmed up and even
if only to dunk it in garlic butter.

however, since she is the cook of this dish it is
what we get. most the time the fake crab falls
apart.

the texture of it too is important to me. some
brands are rubbery and disgusting others are just
right.

Fake crab never bothered me, but then again, I don't really like crab to
begin with. Tastes good in sushi to me.

Tastes OK in salmon patties, but maybe I'm just a low class cook... lol

Most cats that I know are picky. The true test is if a dog would eat
it. I tried a one Chinese place in town once years ago, and it was so
awful, it took me about 2 years to try it again. Still absolutely
awful; no clue how they remained in business. We had 2 dogs at the
time, and even the dogs wouldn't touch it.

Don't forget lemon with that. Or if you're really fancy, dip it in french white wine sauce:

INGREDIENTS:
3 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons minced shallots
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon white pepper
¼ cup white wine
1 lemon, juiced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley

DIRECTIONS:
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add garlic and shallots; cook and stir until transparent, about 3 minutes. Season with tarragon, salt and white pepper. Increase the heat to medium, and stir in the white wine and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer, then whisk for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and sprinkle in parsley.

Actually, I like the fake crab/lobster sticks. I make them up with
butter, garlic, maybe a few other seasonings and muchrooms then put on
a bed of pasta. Drizzle the butter over all and mix a bit.

It freezes nicely for a quick home frozen 'TV Dinner for work lunches'.
Not as smelly on reheating as other fish types.
