Thank you for taking the time to educate us about the fishing business. FReepers are so smart and so helpful.
So is the surimi healthy in your opinion? Do they add a lot of stuff to it?

I personally avoid it. It ususally stinks. Nowadays Surimi could be made from any otherwise non-salable fish or meat scrap incuding mixing in a little roadkill for that tangy taste ...
If you want crab, buy one that is still alive, boil 15 minutes at most or until shell turns redish in very salty water - or sea water if you are near the ocean. Practice makes perfect.
If you can smell it, don’t buy the rotting c—p. Some of it may be irradiated as well. You can tell by taking a sample and letting it sit in a pail in warm weather - it will not rot.
