What do you think of it?

Poll on the way.

I find it tasty, but nothing like real crab. It's ok in a "seafood salad", but I wouldn't try to steam some up and serve it with drawn butter.

I agree.

Fake crab is the antichrist of seafood.

I agree.

We had a little discussion of this a couple weeks ago, I think. It's okay, I guess.

Never by itself.

As "crab", it just isn't. I come from the land near the waters where the Dungeness Crab lives. Not the biggest, but easily the sweetest, most flavorful meat of all the crab I've tried except one (Blue Crab, Chesapeake Bay).

"Krab" is fine in a salad context, with lots of supporting players.

Also known as 'sea legs'. Pretty good for krill.

I don't think I've ever eaten that.

I don't have a share because I ordered the steak.

I loath and despise all "fake" foods...

...hence my aversion to such foods as Krab and Cheeze Whiz.
