Salads used to be made from real crabs, such a treat was loved in Russia back in the 19th century. However, the canned fish industry broke into the market in the 30s and treated everyone to Soviet canned crab. Sales of these products were also abroad.
After a while, a new product appeared – crab sticks. Let them not use real crab for their manufacture, but in taste they are very similar. This is proved by an experiment that was conducted with sailors. They were given to try two salads: one of crab, the other of crab sticks. The sailors not only could not distinguish between the salads, but also chose the variant with crab sticks in the recipe.
