seafood salad

[mamakim1]

Does anyone know if seafood salad made with imitation crabmeat that you get at a deli or salad bar is ok? How many carbs? Just curious. Also, would it fit into the Atkins induction diet? thanks for any info. Kim :confused:

The fake krab meat is normally made out of soy and is loaded with sugar and artifical junk.

Your best bet would be to make it yourself or go without.

I realised early on that the imitation crab was no good on low carb, but I really miss my crab salad. Where do you buy real crab? {not in the shell}.

I would think you could buy it at a fresh seafood market, or grocery store that sells fresh seafood.

Here in the states they have fresh crab meat packed in plastic containers of just the claw meat or a mixture.

Instead of using crab, I buy those shrimp rings for about 5 bucks(you get about 40-48 shrimp). I defrost those..)get rid of the shrimp tails) and I use these in salads, stirfries..or by themselves with a garlic and butter mixture. I also have put them in cream cheese for a spread on my homemade cheese crackers. The sky's the limit!

Have a great day..Cin

I have seen the crab meat in packages in the seafood section, but they are always the imitation stuff. I will try one of the more fancy grocery stores and see if they have real crab.

Yes, I love the shrimp rings... buy them all the time and eat them all myself as my family dont care for them. :p I will try them in garlic butter... ummmm Thanks

There is a brand of canned crabmeat called Luxury I think. It comes frozen and a bit pricy. My parents used to buy it when I was younger. I just buy the canned crab meat now. About 2.99 at Loblaws I think.

There are some seafood wholesalers open to the public. If you're in the Toronto area, I can get some places for you to try.
