Fake Crab Salad Sandwiches

People talking
This recipe uses those fake crabmeat "sealegs" you find in the grocery store. I can hear the purists out there groaning already. Fake crab is actually made with real fish, but seasoned to taste like crab. My daughter has a particular fondness for sealegs, and this is one of my favorite ways of preparing it for her. I don't think fake crab tastes much like real crab at all and highly recommend you do give real crab a try sometime. But for those times when you don't have any real crab, why not give this a try? It doesn't matter if you use "flake style" or "chunks" or "legs" in this recipe.

Great recipe! I love the fake seafood salad sandwiches at the deli and grocery store but always wanted to make my own to save some money. Was stuck for a dinner idea tonight so i whipped this up. Glad I did. The salad is so tasty, simple and a cinch to make. I did it all by hand as I didn't feel like getting my food processor out. Thanks for sharing!

Delicious salad. A little sprinkle of lemon juice and it was perfect. Thank you.

I made this for our roadtrip and we loved it. We made sandwiches on croissants and they were so good. I wouldn't change a thing on this recipe, it was perfect. Thank you for sharing with us.

A very simple recipe that makes a super-delicious sandwich. Perfect for my brown bag life. I love fake crab and am sure to make this many times. Thanks Heather. -
Fantastic recipe--I've tried other krab recipes before trying to replicate what I've paid almost $5 for from the deli department and have failed to be impressed. I was going to diced this all up by hand, but decided last minute to use the food processor method as described. Super quick and definitely a tasty lunch served on honey wheat bread! I didn't use the full amount of miracle whip...just enough to get it moist. Think I'll make up a big batch of this and keep in the fridge for last minute lunches/dinners each week!
