How to buy crab sticks correctly? Be sure to pay attention to the shelf life of the product. Surimi meat (minced white fish) should appear in the list of composition in first place. Important! Do not buy a product if there is frost on it. This is a sign of re-freezing. Fresh sticks should be grey and yellow-free, resilient and a little wet. If the product is sticky, then it is spoiled.

The film in which each crab stick is wrapped is sometimes poorly removed. To facilitate the process, hold the sticks over the steam for 1-3 seconds.
