Surimi, often labelled as 'imitation crab' or 'crab flavoured seafood,' is widely available in the refrigerated seafood section of major supermarkets. For the mint liqueur, check the specialty liqueur section at your local LCBO, SAQ, or provincial liquor retailer; look for crème de menthe. Fresh mint is readily available in the herb section of any produce department.
