Aside from nutritional concerns, critics fret that consumers are being misled. According to a 1985 ruling by the Food and Drug Administration, packaged surimi must be labeled "imitation" unless it has been fortified to be nutritionally equivalent to crab, scallops or whatever. But the regulation is frequently ignored by groceries and fish markets. Patrons of fast-food eateries, delis and restaurants, meanwhile, must look out for themselves.

Not all seafood is as highly recommended: shrimp and crab, for example, have twice as much cholesterol as fish. Grundy's major candidates for removal from the diet are eggs and organ meats, such as liver...
...Boca Raton and the Old House in Monterey, Calif. Ten years ago, only 25% to 30% of diners in his restaurants ordered dessert. Now, says Picot, as many as 70% of Florida customers and 80% of those in California are indulging. Boston's Ritz-Carlton hotel and Shaw's Crab House in Chicago confirm the trend: dessert sales at both are up about 15% over last year...
