  • Shrimp forming process
    Patent number: 4900570
    Abstract: An imitation shrimp produce is produced by heating, in a mold cavity, a fish paste composition, the mold having at least two cavities, each cavity having the form of the shrimp product. The shrimp back portion of each cavity is accessed via an opening in the mold to allow formation of vein grooves in the curved back portion of the shrimp product; and such access is provided during injection of the composition into the mold.

  • Crustacean forming process and apparatus
    Patent number: 4855158
    Abstract: A fish product is produced by heating, in a mold cavity, a mixture of fish paste and pieces of gelled fish paste, the cavity being vented to the exterior allows the mix to expand via the vent during such heating, to produce a simulated crustacean form. The gelled pieces may be acid treated prior to mixing with fish paste, and the molded product further processed, so that the final product has a simulated crustacean bite texture.
