Product Identity & Origin
Crab sticks, often referred to as Surimi, are a versatile seafood staple crafted from high-quality white fish paste, typically sourced from Alaska Pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus) or Pacific Whiting. Belonging to the Gadidae family, these fish inhabit the cold, nutrient-rich waters of the North Pacific (FAO Area 61/67). The processing involves mincing the fish, rinsing it to remove fats, and blending it with natural binders to create the iconic “crab-like” texture.
In the UAE, these are known as أصابع كابوريا and have become a beloved ingredient in modern Khaleeji fusion kitchens. While they aren’t “wild-caught” in the traditional sense, the base fish is wild-harvested using sustainable trawling methods. Visually, our crab sticks feature a vibrant reddish-orange exterior with a snowy white interior. They are an essential component in local seafood salads and the ever-popular seafood Machboos variations found in high-end Dubai eateries.
