Abstract
Seafood products, such as shrimp, may be produced in any desired shape by a process which includes the steps of mechanically working small pieces of a selected seafood under vacuum, to form a shapeable mash having textural and eating characteristics comparable to those of the selected seafood in its natural form. In a preferred method, the seafood pieces are mechanically worked under vacuum and a matrix mix comprising a cookable binder is thereafter carefully folded-in to the worked seafood pieces under vacuum to thereby yield a shapeable mash which can be extruded or molded, to produce seafood products having highly desirable texture and eating characteristics.
