This type of kamaboko is steamed on a small wood board. Kamaboko (蒲鉾, かまぼこ), or Japanese fish cake, is both a traditional and processed seafood ingredient used in many dishes in Japanese cuisine. It is made from white fish paste (called surimi) that has been pureed and then steamed, grilled, or fried until fully cooked and firm. It calls for more baking cocoa than most red velvet cakes, making it extra chocolaty. Feel free to change the color of the food coloring to suit the occasion.
