What is Fish cake?
Kamaboko is a type of cured surimi , a processed seafood product common in Japanese cuisine. It is made by forming various pureed white fish and additives such as MSG into distinctive loaves, which are then steamed until fully cooked and firm. These are sliced and either served unheated (or chilled) with various dipping sauces, or added to various hot soups, rice, or noodle dishes. Kamaboko is typically sold in semicylindrical loaves.
