Method

Start by preparing the seafood mixture. Begin by chopping the seafood sticks into small, bite-sized pieces. Once all the sticks are chopped, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Add 3 tablespoons of light mayonnaise and 2 tablespoons of ketchup to the seafood, then stir everything together thoroughly to combine. The mayonnaise adds creaminess while the ketchup brings a tangy flavor, creating a delicious base for the sub filling.

Next, prepare the rolls. Take the brioche rolls and carefully cut a split down the center to create two halves. If you like your rolls toasted, place them in a toaster or on a grill and toast them lightly. If you choose to toast them, you can butter the sides lightly before toasting to add a little extra flavor and richness.

Once the rolls are ready, assemble the subs. Start by adding a couple of lettuce leaves to the bottom half of each roll. This will act as a fresh base and add crunch to the sub. Then, take the seafood mixture and generously spoon it into the rolls. Make sure to evenly distribute the mixture so that each bite is flavorful. Finally, garnish the subs with a light sprinkle of paprika for a bit of spice and a pop of color. Finish by adding freshly chopped chives for a touch of freshness and a bit more flavor.Now your Seafood Subs are ready to serve! Enjoy these tasty, creamy, and easy-to-make subs as a quick lunch or light meal.

Ingredients

8-10 Seafood sticks
Lettuce
3 tbsp Light mayonnaise
2 tbsp Ketchup
Paprika (for garnish)
Fresh chives (for garnish)
Brioche rolls/buns (4 rolls)

Directions

Start by chopping the seafood sticks into small pieces, as shown in the recipe video. Once chopped, transfer them to a bowl. Add the light mayonnaise and ketchup, then mix everything together until it’s well combined. This creamy mixture is the perfect filling for the subs!
Next, take your brioche rolls and carefully cut a split through the center to create two halves. You can toast the rolls for extra crunch and warmth, or leave them as is, depending on your preference. If you decide to toast, butter the sides lightly before doing so.
Once the rolls are ready, add a couple of fresh lettuce leaves to the bottom half of each roll. Then, generously fill the roll with the seafood mixture. To finish, sprinkle a little paprika on top and garnish with fresh chives for added flavor and a pop of color. Now, your delicious seafood subs are ready to enjoy!

Notes

Be sure to chop the seafood sticks into small, even pieces so that they mix well with the mayonnaise and ketchup. This ensures that every bite of the sub is filled with the perfect combination of flavors.
Toasting the rolls is optional, but if you do, make sure to watch them closely so they don’t burn. Buttering the rolls before toasting adds extra flavor and moisture.
If you’re using large rolls, you may want to add more seafood mixture to fill them up to your liking!

Serving Suggestions

Serve these seafood subs with a side of crispy fries or potato chips for a fun and filling meal.
Pair them with a fresh green salad to balance out the richness of the creamy seafood filling.
For an extra burst of flavor, you can add a squeeze of lemon juice or a few slices of tomato to the subs.

Fun Fact

Did you know that seafood sticks (also called imitation crab) are made from fish, usually white fish like pollock? They’re flavored and processed to resemble real crab meat, making them a tasty and affordable alternative for seafood lovers!
