Its good by its own merits if you stop pretending that it's imitation crab and accept it for what it is: surimi. I've even seen some brands accepting reality and starting to label it as such. I like it in ramen, fettuccine alfredo, mac and cheese, and even straight out of the fridge with a little bit of melted butter.
That said, crab is still better in those dishes. But for the price, surimi isn't bad.

I know imitation crab is just an unholy processed fish meat cube but it's so good when you put it in some spicy ramen.

It's also really good if you break it up and mix it with spicy mayo (siracha and Japanese mayo)
