Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a crab leg/crab claw-like fish paste product having an appearance and texture similar to the shelled leg of a relatively large crab such as a king crab, the shelled claw of a queen crab or the like, and preferably eaten directly, or used as the ingredient of one-pot dishes, fried or fried tempura-style, or cooked like a steak, and a method for producing the same. The method includes the steps of: providing a mold 1 where a concave recessed portion 2 having a shape corresponding to a product shape is formed; producing a fibrous core 5 from raw ground fish meat; placing the fibrous core 5 inside the concave recessed portion 2; coating the fibrous core 5 with raw ground fish meat inside the concave recessed portion 2 to form a coating 10; and steaming the fibrous core 5 on which the coating 10 has been formed with the fibrous core 5 in the concave recessed portion 2.

Abstract: An apparatus for automatically producing at low cost a paste food product resembling in appearance a crab's leg meat tissue causing a sensation of a crab's leg meat upon eating, comprises: a first feed device (1) for feeding a cooked paste sheet; a sheet cutter assembly (4) constructed of parallel rotary cutters disposed under the first feed device (1); a convergent roll assembly (9) having an H-shaped cross-section for forming the paste sheet into a folded sheet (10), disposed under the first feed device (1); a conveyor (12) for conveying the folded sheet (10), disposed under the convergent roll assembly (9); a second feed device (14) for intermittently or continuously feeding the folded sheet (10), disposed in front of the conveyor (12); a slitting machine (17) for forming rows of parallel oblique slits in the folded sheet (10) so as to have the parallel oblique slits symmetrically arranged about a longitudinal axis of the folded sheet (10); and, a cutter for cutting the folded sheet into a block

Abstract: Fabricated meat products like crab leg meat, which are copies of the first joint portion of the king crab or giant spider crab, and the process for manufacturing the same.The fabricated crab leg meat comprises:a central portion which comprises at least one material selected from a group consisting of fibrous material of ground fish meat, flake of fish meat and flake of crustacean meat; anda sheet-like material which mainly comprises ground fish meat, which has cornua on the outer surface thereof and which wraps around the central portion. The fabricated meat product is formed in a shape of crab leg meat.
