Shaw’s Southern Belle Crab Cakes


It was the only item of its kind in the freezer case. Do you see what’s wrong? If so, you’re a smarter shopper than I was. But I won’t get fooled again.

If you see what’s wrong, or if you don’t, please leave a comment. I want to keep some mystery in the post itself.

  1. 1. They look more like biscuits.
    2. "Seafood" crab cakes. So su-r-imi.
    3. Size: compared to the lemon wedges, they look more like crab nuggets. (Maybe not such a bad finger food, 'crab nuggets.')
    4. I'm hungry now.

  2. Surimi: yes, or something along those lines. The first ingredient listed on the package: “fish protein.” My eyes went right past SEAFOOD to Crab Cakes.

    Nice pun, by the way.

  3. I'm sure I would have made the same mistake in the supermarket, but since you pointed out that something was amiss, I paused and thought the presence of "seafood" was suspicious. It reminds me of "processed cheese food product" singles that masquerade as actual cheese.

    Also, "surimi" is a new word for me. Now I just need to figure out the correct pronunciation and how to drop is casually into conversation.

  4. Notice that I left Seafood off the post title. But I’m not a great magician (no gift for misdirection).

    I was surprised to see surimi in Merriam-Webster online. If you figure out how to drop it into a conversation, let me know. :)
