Krab Anyone?

[kenzie9]

Anyone know if krab is ok to have? For those who don't know, krab is that fish that they package to look and taste like crab....sorta

no I've yet to see an artificial crab meat that is low carb or does not contain sugar.

It's unlikely you will find one that does not contain sugar, as it's added to the fish (i believe it's pollock they use) in order to give it the sweet flavour crab has.

what is the brand name of it? like sadie said it is typically polluck they add to it as well as potato starch and some sort of soy product- and sugar. anything with the ending -ose is sugar.- have a look on the package.

I was very sad to see all the high carb ingredients in the fake crab and lobster. I used to eat it a lot. I even liked it better in crab salad than the real thing. Too bad--it is off my menu forever.

Oh well darnit....thanks anyway you guys. It didn't come packaged, I bought it in bulk from the meat counter. I'm assuming it probably is full of sugar if most of the packaged ones are. Too bad since I love it and real crab is beyond my budget.

all of the fake crab I have seen in the grocer is off limits due to all the added starches.

You could always ask the staff to show you the package they get it wrapped in just to make sure.

I went to get some at the supermarket and it listed 18 carbs per serving!!! It has both potato starch and sugar!!! Needless to say I splurged and bought a can of real crab at 0 carbs!!!
