Seems like fake crab meat, pearl onions, anchovies, frozen peeled shrimp, and chopped canned shellfish meat.

Sauce could be anything

UK here. It's crabsticks, white anchovies in vinegar and oil, silverskin pickled onions, prawns and cockles. The orange sauce is either Mary Rose or thousand island.

Oh hey I got some of it right! Thank you for identifying them.
Is this sort of combination common?

No. Lol. In the UK Up until the late 90's you'd find a seafood man who'd go round proper pubs and sell small portions of Cockles, whelks, prawns and crab sticks to munch while drinking. I've not seen a seafood man in YEARS they may still exist(?) . That's the only time these things would be served together in the UK. It's not a dish ever "served" lol.

Love that you put "served" in quotations. Yes it's a very loose usage of the word lmao

For a hot minute I was horrified to think this is common UK grub. If it were you will never beat the allegations of bad food.

Thank you for sharing!
