hi, i bought some imitation crabmeat last night ("Captain's Choice" flaked stye from Safeway) and now that i've looked closer it doesnt say anywhere that it is cooked already. and there is a warning on the package to always fully cook raw fish and meat. so does this mean my imitation crabmeat is raw? i tried cooking a bit of it in a frying pan with butter (as i would cook a piece of fish or heat some pre-cooked prawns) but it all seperated into thin sheets and looked very unappealing.
so how do i cook it?
Usually it is already cooked? Is it a solid white color? If it is it probaly is cooked. you can always ask the butcher, (or call) I usually just eat it straight out of the package, with some melted butter.
ya, it's a solid white colour with red ontop. it sure looks yummier before i cook it up! maybe the warning on the package is just stuck onto all meat and fish products? hmmm. if i eat this and it isn't cooked (though in all likelyhood it is?) then will i just get sick or will something really bad happen?? haha. oh god. i can't believe i just wrote that. i just wish it would say on the package either Raw or Cooked. but it says neither!!!!! (and i don't have a phone to call Safeway on and the website has nothing, nor an hour of internet searching..)
Yep, the kind I buy at Walmarts is precooked so if you want it wamed up a bit a few seconds is all it needs. I add it to salads generally so it tastes great that way. Also have nuked it with some spread for a minute and it was great, also.
haha yes, ok i will have to ask at the store. i'm just hungry and was insanely hoping someone could confirm that it would for sure be cooked. but of course there is no way for anyone to know. ahh i will just have to eat a cucumber sandwich
Just checked a few sites, and wikipedia, and all three sites say thats its basically Alaska Pollock, (cod, whiting) and it's cooked to give its final texture.
ok sweet. thankyou. it's just that it's my first time even looking at it, so i'm sure you can understand that i dont even know what it's supposed to look like! but still, i will wait til my boyfriend gets home before i eat it, just in case. xox
