I know vegan crab meat exists, but they’re usually shredded, and it’s a lot harder to find than “imitation crab”, which is fish. I’m looking for something that at least somewhat mimicks the texture of whole crab leg meat like what they serve at upscale buffets. Also, anyone have any idea how to replicate the shell for the ascetic, either edible or inedible but safe to put hot food in?

This may or may not be inspired by that scene in the show Archer, with Pam chowing down on vegan crab legs, fake shell and all.

    Definitely, I could see some combination of hearts of palm, green jackfruit, gluten, and tapioca making a stringy thing that binds together if you mix and steam it. Vegan fish sauce and/or nori for oceany flavor. Crunchy? Maybe fry it.
