What is fake crab/lobster? Is that some established thing in the US?

 
Imitation crab is made from white fish that's smashed into a paste,
extruded or formed, and cooked. It's called kamaboko and has always
been popular in Hawaii. It's used as a garnish for Saimin and as a
party food. It wasn't popular on the mainland until kamaboko was made
into fake crab form. In Japan, kamaboko is made into a dizzying
number of forms.

Negative David.  While both are based on white fish, the Japanese
Kamaboko is not the same thing.

I asked Jill's artificial acquaintance:
"Imitation crab, also known as surimi crab or kanikama, is a specific
type of kamaboko. It's made from the same base—surimi—but is
flavored and shaped to resemble crab meat. So, while imitation crab is
a type of kamaboko, not all kamaboko is imitation crab."
