I dont think that’s a good idea. There might be salt or preservatives in the imitation crab.I went to an Asian supermarket and I bought a package of frozen wild caught seafood. It has clams, squid, etc. It also has crab meat. My wife says it looks like imitation crab meat, but I'm not sure. She doesn't think I should feed fish this. I'm going to chop it all up together to feed. My question is, if the crab is indeed imitation, would it harm the fish, providing it is going to be chopped up with the rest of the seafood, or should I should I just take it out?
If it is Surimi, it is made of white fish mixed with starch ( saccharine), egg white, salt, vegetable oils, sorbitol, sugar, soy protein, spices and flavorings. Is is a good high protein food for humans. If it is good marine fish food, I do not think so, depending on the flavoring.I went to an Asian supermarket and I bought a package of frozen wild caught seafood.

Mmmmm. Sounds suspicious. This is why I don’t like to eat fish at restaurants. “Piped into rectangular molds.” Fish jello at the price of crab is ok for fish food but I would rather not eat it.Here is what the internet shows and that is what I was always told also: Imitation crab is a substitute for real crab meat, and is made from surimi. Surimi is a paste made from white fish flesh that has been deboned and minced, and then mixed with other ingredients including both natural and artificial flavors, starch, sugar, and sodium . The preferred white fish for surimi is Alaskan Pollock, which is also commonly used in frozen fish sticks or fast-food breaded fish products 1. After the paste is made, it’s then piped into rectangular molds and painted with a thin coat of orange food dye to mimic crab’s natural hue
This is incorrect - for example - Dry food is 'cooked' and 'dried' and it has plenty of nutritional value.It’s cooked, as I understand the Fish can’t process it. So no Nutritional value.
It has no crab in it at all…It’s pulverized processed crab meat.
It’s fine. Humans eat it.
Just whitefish that looks like crab.It has no crab in it at all…
I wonder what's less important: My question, or a paragraph almost as long on how unimportant it is.Sometimes This hobby becomes over complicated because we make it so. There is no reason to be concerned about using a seafood mix that has imitation crab meat as it is still seafood based food. Move on please, I’ve been using imitation crabmeat in my seafood mix for decades and all is good. Let’s worry about things that matter and worthwhile. This is not one of them……
Just trying to convince fellow hobbyist that there are some things not worth over thinking….whatever….I wonder what's less important: My question, or a paragraph almost as long on how unimportant it is.
