What’s in the seafood Sensation at Subway?
Imitation Crab Meat: This is the main ingredient in the seafood sensation filling. It is usually made from a combination of fish, typically Alaskan Pollock, along with other ingredients to mimic the taste and texture of real crab meat.
Mayonnaise: Mayonnaise serves as a binding agent and adds creaminess to the filling.
Celery: Finely diced celery is often included for a crunch and fresh flavour.
Green Onions: Chopped green onions are added for their mild onion flavour and a touch of colour.
Lemon Juice: A squeeze of fresh lemon juice adds brightness and enhances the seafood flavour.
Salt and Pepper: These basic seasonings are used to enhance the overall taste of the filling.
Optional Ingredients: Some variations may include additional ingredients like dill, Old Bay seasoning, or Worcestershire sauce to add extra flavour notes.
Instructions
Start by finely chopping the imitation crab meat into small pieces.
In a bowl, combine the chopped crab meat, mayonnaise, diced celery, chopped green onions, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
If desired, you can add any optional ingredients at this stage to customize the flavour.
Gently mix all the ingredients together until they are well combined, and the crab meat is evenly coated with the mayonnaise mixture.
Taste the seafood sensation filling and adjust the seasonings according to your preference.
Once the filling is ready, you can use it as a sandwich filling in a freshly baked roll or your preferred bread.
Tips
Make sure to use fresh ingredients for the best flavour.
Be gentle when mixing the ingredients to avoid breaking up the crab meat too much.
Adjust the amount of mayonnaise-based on your personal preference for creaminess. Add more if you prefer a richer filling or less if you prefer it lighter.
You can refrigerate the seafood sensation filling for a while before using it to let the flavours meld together.
To create a delicious and refreshing meal, serve the seafood sensation filling in a sandwich with your favourite toppings and condiments, such as lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, or olives.
What to serve with?
Sandwich: The most common way to enjoy Subway Seafood Sensation is by using it as a filling for a sandwich. Choose your favourite types of bread, such as a sub roll, baguette, or soft bun. Slice the bread open, spread some butter or mayonnaise on the inside, and generously fill it with the seafood sensation mixture. You can also add fresh lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, or any other toppings of your choice.
Salad: For a lighter option, serve the seafood sensation filling over a bed of fresh greens to create a delicious seafood salad. Combine lettuce, spinach, or mixed greens with cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, and any other salad vegetables you enjoy. Place a scoop of the seafood sensation filling on top and drizzle with a light dressing, such as a lemon vinaigrette or a creamy herb dressing.
Wrap or Tortilla: Another great way to enjoy Subway Seafood Sensation is by rolling it up in a soft tortilla or wrap. Spread some cream cheese, avocado, or your favourite spread on a tortilla, then add the seafood sensation filling. Top it with some crunchy lettuce, shredded carrots, and roll it tightly. Cut the wrap into smaller portions if desired, and secure with toothpicks.
Cracker or Toast Points: Serve the seafood sensation as a delicious dip or spread by pairing it with crackers or toast points. Simply spoon the filling into a bowl and surround it with an assortment of crispy crackers or lightly toasted bread slices. This makes for a great appetizer or snack option for parties or gatherings.
Stuffed Avocado: For a unique and healthy twist, halve an avocado and remove the pit. Fill the centre cavity with the seafood sensation mixture, allowing it to overflow slightly. Serve it as an elegant and satisfying appetizer or light lunch option.
Final Thoughts
The Subway Seafood Sensation recipe is delicious with the addition of smoked salmon. The chicken works well as it adds more protein and satisfies your tummy. The other ingredients are a personal preference. It is truly delicious and has that “I am in heaven” taste to it.
