FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Are these crab balls made from real crab?

They are “crab flavored,” meaning they are made from high quality white fish surimi seasoned to taste like crab. This provides a similar flavor profile at a more accessible price point for daily meals.

How should I store them after delivery?

Keep them in the freezer at -18°C for long term storage. Once thawed, keep them refrigerated and consumed within 24 hours to ensure the best texture and safety.

Are these crab flavored balls halal?

Yes, all our halal crab balls UAE are sourced from certified suppliers and processed according to Islamic dietary laws, ensuring they are safe for the Muslim community.

Can I cook them directly from frozen?

Yes, you can drop them directly into boiling water or a hotpot. However, for deep frying, we recommend thawing them slightly for 10 minutes to ensure even cooking throughout.

Is there any mercury risk with this product?

The base fish (Pollock) is a low-mercury species. It is considered safe for regular consumption, including for children and pregnant women, within standard weekly seafood guidelines.

Why is the texture “bouncy”?

The texture comes from the surimi process, where fish protein is rinsed and blended. This creates a unique elasticity that is highly prized in Asian and fusion seafood dishes.

Is the packaging eco-friendly?

We use recyclable outer packaging and encourage customers to return our thermal bags for reuse, helping reduce the environmental footprint in the UAE.

Can I use these in a traditional Machboos?

Product Identity & Origin

Crab flavored balls, known locally in Arabic as كرات بنكهة السلطعون, are a highly versatile processed seafood product. These are crafted from finely minced white fish primarily Theragra chalcogramma (Alaska Pollock) from the Gadidae family. The surimi is seasoned and shaped to replicate the succulent taste of crustacean meat. Originating from the cold, nutrient rich waters of the North Pacific (FAO Area 61/67), the base fish is sustainably caught and immediately processed to preserve its structural integrity.

In the UAE, these are prized for their consistent texture and ability to absorb vibrant local spices. While not a traditional Emirati heritage fish, they have become a cultural favorite in modern “Seafood Buckets” and are frequently used as a protein rich addition to a spicy Seafood Saloona. Every batch at Diorfreshfish is inspected for clear color, firm elasticity, and a clean, mild aroma to meet the highest culinary standards.
