How can a vegetarian replace crab meat in a dish?

I recently became a vegetarian. One time I had really delicious spinach and crab dip from a restaurant in Panama City Beach Florida. I found the recipe online and I want to make it, but obviously without crab meat in it. I don't remember the restaurant's having a lot of crab meat in it (definitely not chunks). Could I substitute something for that fishy taste? If not, do you think it'll make a world of a difference in the dish?How can a vegetarian replace crab meat in a dish?
Only Crab tastes like Crab. You need to spark your taste buds with another flavour
i havent tried anything from this website but everything they sell just looks amazing!! they have all different kinds of vegan/vegetarian meats/seafood that i never tried when i was an omnivore! they definitely have vegan crab you can order

you can replace it with smoked tuna. I've done that before
just make it without.
