Crab sticks (also known as seafood sticks) actually have nothing to do with crab. They are made of white fish such as Pollock, egg white, pulverized into a thick paste before adding red colour. I have no problem with the name 'seafood sticks', but they should not be called 'crab' sticks.
Crab cakes, on the other hand, usually contain at least 20% real crab meat, depending on the recipe. For example, Sainsbury's Taste the Difference crab cakes contain 25% crab meat.
