Are the crab seeds in Japanese cuisine really made of crabs?

Of course not. Crab eggs are so expensive that they are full of fish eggs.

When eating Japanese food, we can see some crystal clear crabs on crab sushi, which is different from other sushi. Crab seed killed me. Unlike other sushi, there are no other fruits or sashimi in sushi. Instead, it is crystal clear crab seeds. The taste is crisp and refreshing.

But we can't help wondering. Isn't crab the kind of crab? Why don't I eat this crab when I eat hairy crabs? Crab eggs are not like this. Then I asked the sushi chef. It turns out that sushi is not real crab eggs, but fish eggs. Of course, the main reason is that crab roe is really expensive, so in order to achieve economic benefits, fish roe must be used instead of crab roe.

I heard that caviar abroad is very expensive. Actually there are many kinds of caviar. For example, sturgeon seeds are used to make caviar. The seeds of sturgeon are of high quality. And the output is very small, so the price is very expensive. But if you think about all kinds of fish in the sea, some people will find flying fish with huge output. Because they have a large output and few products, the price is relatively low. Therefore, crab seedlings as economic benefits have become the correct approach. If you see all kinds of colorful fish eggs, these are some businesses that attract everyone's attention in order to win their attention. Dye fish eggs with pigment. However, we can rest assured that edible pigments generally meet the national human body standards.

Of course, the nutritional value of fish eggs is far lower than that of crab roe. Crab yolk is the product of digestive gland, ovary and other tissues in hairy crabs. Crab yellow contains good protein and lecithin, which is nutritious and contains many vitamins. Moreover, crabs are delicious and fragrant, with scarce output and high price. So there is a saying that there is gold in the sea.
