Crab stick fans, look away now.
A video revealing how the popular seafood snacks are made has gone viral after many were stunned by the industrial processes on show.
The viral clip, shot at the world’s biggest crab stick factory in Thailand and shared by Korean YouTube channel Food Kingdom, shows the method in detail and begins with workers loading frozen blocks of fish meat into a large machine to be shredded.
The resulting slurry is moved through another machine where large amounts of seasoning are added, along with egg whites, vegetable oil and ice cubes.
The mixture is then processed into a gooey sludge before it is extruded into long noodles and then cut up.
