Oh and Crabsticks, did you know? Not only is there not any Crab in a Crabstick, but there's no kind of seafood of any kind. It's Soya.
A traditional English salad when I were a lad had most of the things you mentioned with some curled up sliced white bread. None of these fancy continental things like a French baguette.
It is actually a fish derivative I'm sure, let me google Edit: here it is, fist protein, deffo no soya Surimi (35%) (Fish) [Textured White Fish Protein, Sugar, Humectant (Sorbitol), Stabiliser (Polyphosphates)],
Surimi is a Japanese type of production mainly made from Alaskan Pollack, as you say that is what makes up the fish element in a crab stick.
