MARITIME (CANADA) SEAFOOD CASSEROLE
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.
