Reviews on the topic salad with crab sticks

Inga,
I myself really love salads with crab sticks and I want to tell you how you need to choose these same crab sticks to make the salad delicious. I work in a grocery store, so I have experience. Most importantly, look at the composition, there should be in the first place minced fish(also called surimi). If not, immediately put the packaging back. Secondly, if the crab sticks have been frozen several times (and we have it all the time), they will taste like rubber in the salad. Therefore, remember the packaging a little - the sticks should not break and crumble, one, not be heavily wrinkled or too brightly colored, two, and there should not be ice inside, three. At the same time, they should lie in refrigerators, because this is a deep-frozen product, at minus 18, therefore, if the packaging is wet, melted, also back. Well, also remember or write down - additives E160, E171, E450, E420 are prohibited in Europe, so see what kind of crab sticks you will use for your salad.

Maria, review on salads with crab sticks
I would advise everyone to try adding a little, a couple of drops, balsamic vinegar and mustard oil to the crab stick salad, all of which are now sold in stores. This will give salads with crab sticks a different flavor, more spiciness, because crab sticks often look fresh, and adding a lot of salt, I think, is harmful to beauty and health.

What you need to know to prepare

  1. First of all, you should pay attention to the composition of the product. At the top of the list should be "surimi" or "minced fish". This means that the sticks are indeed made from white fish. If you didn’t find such words in the first place, most likely, ordinary fish soybeans are in the composition of the sticks;
  2. The appearance of crab sticks plays an important role. The color of the meat should be white. If it is yellow, the meat has already spoiled. If it is gray, then cheap, low-quality fish was used in the composition of the sticks, or flour was added. The red stripe should only be on one side of the sticks. Color from pink to red. If the color is too saturated, the manufacturer simply went too far with the dye;
  3. When buying a chilled or frozen product, be sure to pay attention to where you got the product from. The place must match. That is, frozen sticks should be in freezer, but chilled in the refrigerator.

These are the three most important criteria by which you can determine the freshness of crab sticks, their quality. Be sure to remember our tips to buy a good product.
