Surimi Price Questions
- What is surimi and how is it classified?
- Surimi is frozen fish meat, excluding fillets, that has been minced and processed into a paste. It is classified under HS code 030495 and includes species from families such as Gadidae, Merlucciidae and others, but excludes Alaska pollock.
- How should frozen surimi be stored to maintain quality?
- Frozen surimi should be kept at temperatures below ‑18 °C throughout transport and storage. Maintaining the cold chain prevents thawing and protects the product’s texture and flavor.
- Can surimi be used directly in cooked dishes, or does it require further processing?
- Surimi is a ready‑to‑use protein paste that can be shaped and cooked directly, but it is often formed into items such as imitation crab sticks or added to soups and salads after shaping.
