Everyone has long known that there are no crabs in sticks, but they are made from surimi - minced meat of white varieties. But this does not diminish their popularity. Only with the purchase you need to make sure that the sticks are made of surimi, which is on the first place in the list of ingredients. If minced meat is not present, it is better to refuse to purchase such a product. On the packaging must be information about the manufacturer, shelf life, optimal storage conditions. If it contains ice and snow, then the sticks were subjected to repeated freezing, and they should not be bought. Crab sticks have only one side, the color can be pink to red. The inside should be even white, not gray or yellow. Quality sticks can not be wrinkled or cracked. The smell should be pronounced crab, and not irritating-saturated fish. When unfolding good sticks should not break or break, because surimi is very elastic.
