We owe the appearance of crab sticks on our counters to the Japanese. Even where there is commercial production of crabs, their price is quite high. Therefore, for daily consumption surimi were invented - minced fish sticks flavored with crab flavor. In Russia, crab sticks have gained immense popularity, especially as an ingredient in salads. Many recipes were invented with them, many of which are quite high in calories. Here's a recipe for a low-calorie salad with crab sticks that won't do too much harm to your figure.
