Surimi originates from Japan, a country that has been making it for over 500 years. Translated literally, it means “ground fish muscle”. It is a processed fish product shaped like a baby eel and obtained from grinding, washing, and sieving the fish. White saltwater fish are used to obtain surimi. Among these types of fish, Alaska pollock has the best quality and is what we use at Conservas Valcárcel.
It is an exquisite food that can be used in salads, scrambled eggs, or simply as a complement to fish dishes.
