The sushi place in the DTW airport offers California Rolls with real or imatation crab. I ordered the Cali. Rolls assuming they would be imatation since that's all I ever had. I bit into it and realized I was eating real crab ! They were about $5-6 more than the fake ones (for 6) but they were pretty tasty. I don't know if I'd get them again though. They were good, but I have been eating the imatation ones for so long and like them so doesn't make a lot of sense for me to pay more for real crab.
