Crab sticks, krab sticks, snow legs, imitation crab (meat), or seafood sticks are a type of seafood made of starch and finely pulverized white fish (surimi) that has been shaped and cured to resemble the leg meat of snow crab or Japanese spider crab.[1] It is a product that uses fish meat to imitate shellfish meat.
Originally known as kanikama (カニカマ) in Japanese,[2] from kani (蟹) "crab" and kamaboko (蒲鉾) "fish sausage", in the United States the product is often simply called kani.[3]
