Crabsticks fans vow to never eat them again after discovering how they are made

Foodies will remember this item which used to be a hit in the eighties - with many still loving to tuck into a humble crab stick from time to time. But this revelation might change your mind as people are just finding out how they are made.

It comes after a crabstick factory based in Thailand showed the process of making the fishy sticks - and some people have vowed to never eat them again after watching the video, reports The Mirror. Sold widely around the UK, the savoury sticks are a go-to for some seafood lovers, but after a video was posted, people are disgusted and are now branding it a 'fish hot-dog'.

Starting off as concrete-like substance, the crab meat goes through a range of processes, before it is dyed red and white.
