Crab Meat?

Just wondering if crab meat/imitation crab meat are safe to eat? I know we can't eat sushi but Publix has a crab, cream cheese, and cucumber roll that I'm seriously craving! It's not raw as far as I know so I'm hoping it's safe to eat

I ate crab and shrimp often with DD1. She's healthy as can be! Enjoy! Sounds delicious.

Thanks ladies, I probably won't eat this too often but I'm super excited to go get it right now

Went to a Japanese place for lunch earlier this week.  I asked the guy if the crab meat was cooked.  He told me it was imitation crab meat (aka "krab") and that it was raw, shredded fish. 

I never thought it was raw before, but to be safe, I told them to skip it.

 Got a crispy tempura shrimp roll, just with cucumbers and the sauce, and it was DIVINE!

I'm not depriving myself of sushi this time, except for high-mercury fish (thanks, PP for the link).

If you're eating at a reputable place (probably not the grocery store, but we don't have Publix here), you're probably going to be okay.
