asda smartprice crab sticks. costing at the moment around 70 to 80 pence in my local asda store i think is great value for money. i use them for alot of things like sandwitches salads and the like. cheap and tasty.
they come in your usual smart price packaging with info on the back telling you whats in them and the calorie content etc.
A japanese invention that came over here years ago made from a fish substance called surimi which is basically minced up and beaten white fish flesh. but dont let that put you off because the smart price crab sticks do have a lovely fishy taste and work fantastic in a sarnie with salad cream or seafood sauce or mixed up in a prawn cocktail if your lacking prawns at the time.
I have tried the more expensive crab sticks from companies such as youngs and there really isnt much difference other than the price i have found. The only real small difference is the expensive ones tend to be firmer in bite if that makes sense. but that doesnt mean the cheaper ones arnt as tasty as the rest. i would advise to save money and go for the cheaper end of the scale as youngs really are robbery
