Threadfin Bream Surimi

Threadfin bream surimi is a processed fish product made from threadfin bream, a type of white fish. The fish is deboned, ground, and washed to remove fat and undesirable compounds. The resulting fish paste is then mixed with ingredients like starch, salt, and sugar to improve its texture and flavor.

Surimi is used as a cost-effective substitute for more expensive seafood like crab, shrimp, and scallops. It is often found in imitation crab sticks, seafood salads, and fish cakes. Its neutral flavor and firm, elastic texture make it versatile for various processed seafood products.

Threadfin bream surimi is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of protein and can be fortified with nutrients. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated surimi and its components. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.
