TikTok's obsession with Sam's Club's imitation snow crab leg continues to grow, with content creators raving about its affordability, versatility, and impressive flavor. While many may assume that imitation crab is plant-based, it actually contains fish and eggs, making it unsuitable for vegans. Sam's Club's Surimi Snow Leg Style is made with Alaska pollock, Pacific whiting, crab flavoring, modified tapioca starch, and egg white powder to mimic the taste of crab without using shellfish.

For those looking to join the imitation crab hype while still staying vegan, Lily's Vegan Pantry offers Vegan Imitation Crab Steaks made with konjac powder, soy protein, wheat protein, and natural seasonings. Additionally, there are various plant-based crab dishes available, such as crab cakes and crab salad, from different brands. For those wanting to cook vegan imitation crab from scratch, a simple recipe using hearts of palm, vegan butter, and seaweed can easily replicate the taste and texture of crab.
