2lbs of surimi...recipe help?

Ok so I recently got 2 1/2lbs of surimi (krab, imitation crab) and I have no idea what to do with it. Honestly, I can't stand eating it "as-is" for too long. The texture freaks me out. :|
Anyone have any good recipes I can use it in? So far, I've tried dipping it in cocktail sauce, frying it, and recently putting it in macaroni and cheese with real shrimp (seafood mac is surprisingly delicious).
I've heard Alton mention it on his crab show but I don't know if he actually used it. I checked on FN's website and he has no recipes. Does he even advise using it...or even eating it since it's processed and all that. I think he's used it in his sushi episode though...
Many thanks!
