MARITIME (CANADA) SEAFOOD CASSEROLE



Maritime (Canada) Seafood Casserole image

This is a seafood casserole recipe that we often make at Christmas or New Year's. We live in on the east coast of Canada so we have good access to seafood. You can change the quantities or types of seafood used. I usually don't use the crab meat, but increase the amount of lobster and shrimp I use. You can use haddock or salmon in it also. I usually use whatever I have on hand. The important thing is to use approximately the same volume of fish as stated in the recipe. I usually serve it over the flaky pastry shells, but you can also serve it in crepes or just by itself on the plate.

Tips and Conclusion

  • Choose fresh lobster meat: Fresh lobster meat is essential for the best flavor and texture. Look for lobster meat that is firm and opaque, with no discoloration or off odor.
  • Boil or steam the lobster: Boiling or steaming is the best way to cook lobster meat for this casserole. Avoid overcooking, as this can make the lobster tough and rubbery.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: A variety of vegetables adds color, texture, and flavor to the casserole. Some good choices include celery, onions, carrots, and broccoli. Frozen or canned vegetables can also be used, but fresh vegetables will give the casserole the best flavor.
  • Use a creamy sauce: A creamy sauce is essential for binding the ingredients together and adding richness to the casserole. A simple white sauce made with butter, flour, and milk can be used, or you can use a more complex sauce such as a cheese sauce or a seafood sauce.
  • Bake the casserole until golden brown: The casserole should be baked until the top is golden brown and the sauce is bubbly. This will take about 30 minutes in a 350°F oven.
