Can vegans eat imitation crab meat?!


Question:

Can vegans eat imitation crab meat?


Answers:
No, because imitation crab is made from fish and vegans don't eat fish.

Imitation crab meat is pollock, which is a fish. Fishes are animals, not vegetables

No. It's made of pollock, which is a kind of fish and hence a kind of animal.

No, because it is made from fish.

No they can't. Imitation crab meat contains processed fish.Imitation crab meat is a seafood product made by blending processed fish, known as surimi, with various texturizing ingredients, flavorants, and colorants. First invented in the mid-1970s, imitation crab meat has become a popular food in the United States, with annual sales of over $250 million. Surimi is the primary ingredient used to create imitation crab meat. It is mostly composed of fish myofibrillar proteins. These proteins are responsible for the quintessential characteristic of surimi that makes imitation crab meat manufacture possible, namely the ability to form a sturdy gel. The gel can be shaped and cut into thin strips which, when rolled together, mimic the texture of real crab meat.

if you want to be mocked by vegans the world over. and who wants that?

You could but then you'll get kicked out of the club.

No it is made from fish! It is not made from soy.

Sure. It would be delicious. It would taste like crab meat but it would be made, probably, out of soy beans. It would be a rare treat for a vegan.

Imitation crab meat is still made with fish...just a cheaper kind.

Imitation Crab meat is made from fish..so NO.

No, it's made from fish (I think is pollock)

It's not crab, but it's still a fish product. So the answer is no.

It depends on whats imitating it. Usually its fish...so no.
