Surimi crab sticks and cocktail sauce

[grislyatoms]

are dammed good. I wouldn't let real seafood come anywhere near cocktail sauce but with fake seafood, it is rather tasty!

What do you use for cocktail sauce? 
I use almost equal parts of ketchup and prepared horseradish; the ketchup is the bigger half but not by much.  It doesn't need any Tabasco or W'shire sauce or lemon.

You know, I may be the odd one out, but seeing the processing plants for things like surimi, hot dogs, meat packing/canning etc. has never really bothered me. At their base they are just the same food preparation/cooking methods I've used, or seen used, in house hold kitchens writ freaking huge with some automated packaging tossed in.

For the most part I totally agree, but what I found less than appetizing about that particular video were the stages involving watery, tan colored fish puree with the consistency of light syrup.

Probably looks a lot like that just before you swallow it.
