No. It says imitation, and its up to the seller to call their product what they seem is best ( I guess for business). Just as long as it has the proper Kashrut. - But in the ingredients it says the fish it is made of. I guess that if they would write something like that it wouldn't be able to sell.

But wouldn't eating a food that mimick the taste of an unkosher animal, like shrimp, cause one to be tempted to eat the actual thing?
Ari:
Perhaps, but judging from the look of the immitation salads I've seen in stores, I wouldn't be tempted to eat either of them. :::D

I dont know, not for me at least. But if it tastes good and is tempting, why not just eat the kosher imitation?
