Silience

Compounded fish bits and preservatives present an imitation

that many people buy.

It’s cheap;

the hot dog of the sea.

 

Surimi seafood.

Fish flesh minced and mutilated,

blended, heated, pressured into mimicry.

A hint of honesty extract for flavor.

 

Pollock

is a common source of surimi.

The truth that hurts:

Pollock goes by the name Krab. Or Jackson. But not Paul.

 

The cost of the lie is one-third that of honesty

and it tastes so similar.

Without heed for nutritional value,

many people buy imitation crab.
