Its true name is surimi analog, but that doesn't sound very appetizing, does it!?
It is typically made from white-fleshed fish, (such as pollock or hake) that has been pulverized to a paste and attains a rubbery texture when cooked!. Lean meat from fish is first separated or minced!. The meat is then rinsed numerous times to eliminate undesirable odors!. The result is beaten and pulverized to form a gelatinous paste!. Depending on the desired texture and flavor of the surimi product, the gelatinous paste is mixed with differing proportions of additives such as starch, egg white, salt, vegetable oil, humectants, sorbitol, sugar, soy protein, and seasonings!. If the surimi is to be packed and frozen, food-grade cryoprotectants also are added while the meat paste is being mixed!.
The fish used to make surimi include milkfish, swordfish, tilapia, cod, whiting, pollock and shark!.
