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.

I've been buying imitation crab salad. It's mostly imitation crab with
mayo. Simple. It's not bad.
I'm not a big fan of kamaboko though. If I have some in a bowl of
noodles, I'll try to get the wife or kids to eat it. The kids like it
because it's red and white. I made a bowl of saimin noodles for my
granddaughter and put kamaboko in it - lots of kamaboko.
