To my taste, in this salad of crab sticks and rice, corn is not at all superfluous. It gives juiciness and freshness. You can also look at this classic version of crab salad with rice.

Who doesn't love crab salad?). I cook it for almost all holidays and always with corn. But for the next feast I made a classic crab salad without corn. It seems to me that replacing the sweet corn with hot onions turns this cold appetizer from a “children’s” into an “adult” one). We really liked this option, interesting taste, unusual. I took a young onion, not yet formed, and cut it into rings. I crushed the remaining ingredients into cubes. I boiled the rice in a large amount of water, then washed it with cold boiled water and cooled it. It turned out crumbly, just right for a salad. Added young dill leaves. Such a delicious aroma! I think you can also add crab-flavored croutons. Thanks for the new recipe for me!
