RE: Freezing Imitation Crabmeat Post By Mike Cao (Guest Post) (04/04/2007) We keep producing Imitation Crabmeat all the year round, If you are interesting , please feel free to contact me. my email is mikeyifeng AT 126.com RE: Freezing Imitation Crabmeat Post by cookiemom1 (14) | (08/23/2006) Profile | Contact I see others have already responded, but I was going to relay that it sure can be frozen. I buy it also @ Wal-Mart in the air tight package. It keeps for a long time refrigerated, but if I don't think I'll be needing it in the next week or so, I will freeze it. Here's a great crab salad recipe I use. Imitation crab meat, chopped in the food processor, choppped green onion, and mayonnaise. That's all & it's so delicious. Tastes better even after it's been refrigerated a few days. We spread it on crackers. RE: Freezing Imitation Crabmeat Post by Dorie (32) | (08/22/2006) Contact It is usually frozen when you buy it. It comes both ways. It is just fish flavored with crab juice. Dorie RE: Freezing Imitation Crabmeat Post By Me (Guest Post) (08/22/2006) I buy it & freeze it as soon as I come home. I've done it forever. It thaws at room temp really fast too. But if Im in a hurry I just nuke it. But if you do that take it out of the packaging & put on a plate. That plastic isn't safe to cook in. RE: Freezing Imitation Crabmeat Post by aardvark (77) | (08/22/2006) Contact If something is safe to eat, it is safe to freeze , [assuming it is something that may be frozen in the first oplace] although the quality of an item may suffer. RE: Freezing Imitation Crabmeat Post By Vicky (Guest Post) (08/22/2006) I buy imitattion crabmeat all the time in WalMart and I always freeze it. I don't know if you know it but WalMart will sell you a 2 1/2 pound bag that is still frozen. You can ask for it at the Seafood counter. I take it home and usually it is too much for my husband and I for one meal so I cut it in half and freeze it in 1 of those plain storage gallon bags. We still have extra after each meal. Hope this helps Vicky RE: Freezing Imitation Crabmeat Post By Bonnie (Guest Post) (08/22/2006) I don't know for sure, but I've always believed once something is frozen & thawed, no matter what it is, it needs to be used right away.
