Sea Delica premium imitation crabmeat in a 500 g frozen pack holding 30 sticks, ready after thawing for sushi rolls, seafood salads, pasta and snacks.
Bold red Sea delica lettering, a small Japanese character logo, and Premium Imitation Crabmeat in orange headline the clear front of this pack, with a neat row of orange-striped sticks visible through the film. A line beneath suggests uses for seafood salads, pasta and more, and the corner gives 500 g with 30 sticks. The back panel asks for the pack to be kept frozen and thawed under refrigeration; once thawed, keep it refrigerated and eat it within three days. As general background, the earliest surimi production in Japan was in 1115, for making kamaboko, and surimi is often shaped to mimic the texture of crab and other shellfish. In kitchens these sticks typically earn their place because they are ready to eat after thawing and slice cleanly. Commonly, sushi chefs lay them into California and uramaki rolls with cucumber and avocado, as the gallery shows, and shred them for kani salad with cucumber, carrot and a creamy dressing. They also go into seafood pasta, fried rice, spring rolls, omelettes and sandwiches. Thaw only the sticks needed for a shift, keep them covered and chilled, and never refreeze thawed product.
