You've probably noticed that crab sticks vary greatly in taste depending on the manufacturer.

In fact, there are a number of characteristic signs that will indicate to you a quality product made from minced fish.

Let's figure out how to distinguish good crab sticks from those that don't deserve your attention.

5 characteristic signs

The following signs indicate that you have a quality product in front of you:

  • Composition. The quality of the product is indicated by the fact that it contains at least a third of surimi - minced fish.
  • Color. High-quality crab sticks should be pure white. Any shades of gray or yellow indicate otherwise.
  • Consistency. Crab sticks should be easy to cut with a knife, while maintaining their elasticity.
  • Crackling: Frozen sticks crack but do not break completely.
  • Packaging. Vacuum packaging should not be damaged, otherwise the shelf life of such a product should be questioned.
