I admit I hadn't given a lot of thought to how "imitation crab" was made. There are so many "imitation" this and that which bear no resemblance to he real thing. Now I know the best is made from Alaskan Pollock.
I bought a pack of Alaskan Pollock last month, my first. I found it to be a very mild fish.
I enjoyed my only visit to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, as I did the site. Thanks for posting it.

Kind of a cool site I heard about on the radio last night. It's not as glamorous as whales but conservation of fish stocks are important as well.
Monterey Bay Aquarium - Seafood Watch
What is Seafood Watch?
A program of Monterey Bay Aquarium designed to raise consumer awareness about the importance of buying seafood from sustainable sources. We recommend which seafood to buy or avoid, helping consumers to become advocates for environmentally friendly seafood. We're also partners of the Seafood Choices Alliance where, along with other seafood awareness campaigns, we provide seafood purveyors with recommendations on seafood choices.
How did Seafood Watch begin?
Monterey Bay Aquarium developed a list of sustainable seafood as part of our 1997-1999 "Fishing for Solutions" exhibit anticipating visitor questions about making better seafood choices. Our Portola Cafe restaurant and husbandry department also adopted a "sustainable seafood" policy. The list evolved into the Seafood Watch pocket guide for consumers.
