Crabsticks are reshaped white fish flesh (surimi.)
Only half as tasty as crab, but if you put them in front of me on a buffet I can't speak for my actions.

Never heard them called imitation crab meat, so we may be on different channels here.

I would imagine that alligator corpses make alligator goods.
And the meat goes into some form of food. Can't tell from the photo, but I guess the van was refrigerated. Still, I guess it's probably animal feed anyway - animals are usually killed and processed on site when it comes to human consumption. Slightly educated conjecture, feel free to correct me.

With your alligator skin whip

FWIW - alligator comes from el lagarto. The lizard in Spanish. But my ex and I heard the story from a Cuban (in Cuba, so not a big surprise.) For years we believed that the original name for an alligator was legga-TEUR. I prefer it still.
