No risks
Surimi is a cooked preparation made from fish paste — there is no risk in eating it during pregnancy.
Surimi is made from white fish flesh (usually Alaska pollock) that is cooked and pasteurized during manufacturing. This process eliminates the risks of listeriosis and parasitic contamination.
It is a modest source of protein, low in mercury. Preferably eat it quickly after opening the package and store it in the refrigerator. Surimi can be added to salads or eaten on its own.
