Looks like a Jackson Pollock painting! =) LOL Nancy

Sounds delish.

I grew up eating a lot of pollock, it was great in combination with cod and haddock in fish stews or baked by itself and it was always readily available. Unfortunately, most of it is now used in surimi and other extruded fake crab/lobster type products. It is a shame that it is hard to find now.....

Very clever, Dcarch.

DC:
Your Artwork score, is way below Par. I could not say it is up to Par, because it is much better.

I bought Pollock a lot, 2 years ago but have not seen it lately myself. I liked it too.

Alexa:
Could you not Bake the " Imitation Crabmeat " like the Pollock.

That sounds better that " Fake "

You know , like " Used Cars " or " Previously Owned "

or " Imitation Vanilla " - " Fake Vanilla "

I use Fake Crabmeat for a lot of things.

No Lou -

Pollock fillets, like what DC made are cut off the (hopefully) live fish, skinned and baked whole or cut into chunks and used in a recognizable form to make tasty things.

Fake crab meat or surimi is fish, mostly pollock, that is processed into a paste, mixed with extenders, pushed through an extruding machine that forms it into some vague sort of tube shape and then it is coated in red food coloring and bears absolutely no resemblance to the fillet that was cut from the fish.

It is like comparing pork loin and hot dogs.

Nice! I like it all. The composition for the eye, food for thought, and even your choice of prepartion. :) You has done much more good-er than me could! er, than me can do? KIDDING! teehee...

Dcarch, nice.
FOAS - I'm still chuckling!

me too :-D

FOAS, that's very funny!

Dcarch, it does look like a Jackson Pollock painting, which I am assuming is exactly what it was supposed to look like. (grin)

I haven't seen pollock here for a couple of months, but my store often sells 10 pound boxes for about a dollar a pound. The last time I got it, though, it tasted strong and a bit "muddy", so I haven't gotten it since.

It made just OK chowder, even, but Cooper enjoyed it a lot.

I love the humor in the Pollack-Rockwell contrast and I'll bet the fish was good too.

I was just pulling your chain.
But I do like Imitation Crabmeat, Pork Loin and HotDogs.

Alexa, you make it sound so delish!!!

I learned a bit about both Jackson Pollack and Norman Rockwell late Thursday night. Can't say I appreciate either of their talents more for it, but it was interesting. It was also the first time I've "photoshopped" something. (In quotes because I actually used MS Paint.) Fun stuff!

Love the art treatmnet on so may levels.

Someone sent me to this website a few years ago. I believe it was created in homage to the artist. You, too, can create Pollock-like work. Move your cursor on the blank "canvas" click to change colors, space bar to get back to a new blank canvas.

Thank you, thank you, thank you everyone. You are very kind.

Alexa, Lou, I happen to like surimi. It's good in salads. I have a few pounds in my freezer. The kind that I have actually has two percent crab meat, and has no MSG. I think it would be more enjoyable instead of calling it "Fake crab meat" or "Imitation lobster meat", they should call them "fantasy crustacean nuggets " :-)

Annie, the Pollock I bought was $8.50 a pound, about the same as salmon.

bizzo, amazing link. You can have lot's of fun doing it. Thanks.

FOAS, LOLOLOL! A master piece! and I am not talking about what I have done. Less is more. No caption needed. Worth a thousand words.

dcarch

Thumbs up to all of the artists here!

"It was also the first time I've "photoshopped" something."

Your first attempt is a winner! It made me LOL.

I have never seen Pollock in a store here
(Or anywhere else, either).
And have never,
(to my knowledge)
Eaten any except disguised
As fake whatever kind of seafood.

But your meal certainly is attractive,
As usual,
And looks delicious.

I am again awed by your creativity.

Rusty

Thank rusty and unorthodoxepicure.

Goes to show, you can play with your food and eat it too.
