What is Frozen sea legs/imitation crab meat?
Surimi — pollock or whitefish paste formed, colored, and flavored to mimic crab, sold frozen as flake, chunk, or leg/stick style. Pre-cooked, so it only needs thawing.
The backbone of cheap volume sushi: California rolls, spicy 'krab' rolls, and crab salad hand rolls at NYC sushi counters and grab-and-go delis. Also goes into seafood salad for bagel shops, crab rangoon at Chinese-American spots, and California-roll-style poke bowls.

Fresh, frozen, and the catch
Seafood gets quoted fresh or frozen and compared per pound. Fresh moves with the catch, the season and the grade, so it can jump week to week; plenty of NYC kitchens lean on frozen-at-sea for staples and save fresh for the features.
It's held pretty steady across the year.
Keeping your food cost in range
Most NYC kitchens run a food cost of 28–35% of menu price. Track the per-pound cost on your top cuts and price the menu against it — that's the simplest way to hold margin as wholesale rates move.
Read the label — it's surimi, not crab, so menu it as 'krab' or 'surimi' to stay compliant. Buy by stick style (leg vs. flake) for your application; thaw under refrigeration and drain before service to avoid watery rolls.
