This was great. Do follow other reviews and allow flavors to blend before serving. The Old Bay and lemon give it really great flavor and grilling the hotdog buns makes it taste so authentic

This was pretty good, but it seemed to be missing something. I used a white onion instead of red, but followed recipe other than that. Will try some other recipes and compare and pick my favorite one! Thanks Erin.

Better than it looks. The main picture they have up of this with the lettuce in the bun is unappetizing - it looks like it has tons of mayo. Ours were delicious, I followed the recipe as written except I used minced shallot in place of the onion.

This being my first seafood roll experience, I thought it was pretty good. I added the minced celery and additional Old Bay as well, and a healthy dash of white pepper. I thought it a bit mayo-y, but I would think Miracle Whip would be even sweeter/tangier, so I definitely won't sub that. Maybe subbing a little sour cream for the mayo or just cutting back a bit might work for us. But I've got to give it a 4 star for the simplicity and convenience! Green leaf lettuce a must!

This is great for a refreshing & low calorie lunch as long as you use low fat mayo and spray butter like I did! I used 1/4 cup chopped regular onion and added a stalk of celery chopped (very crucial!) and also doubled the old bay seasoning. The lemon juice is very important to the light flavor that this seafood sandwich needs. It really is very good even though I only had time to let it sit for 10 minutes instead of the recommended 30. I bet it will taste even better tomorrow! I think this would taste great on crackers or even just on crunchy romaine lettuce too! I served it on a toasted hot dog bun with a couple of pieces of lettuce :o)

My daughter LOVES the subway version of this, but its hard to find. This was a perfect substitute, and in my opinion, better. Great flavor, and customizable to lower the calories (low cal mayo). I used imitation crab and onion powder instead of real onion, so it wasn't the least bit crunchy. The flavor was awesome the next day! I wonder how I could make it creamier?

This recipe was good. I did cut the tops and bottoms off from the hot dog rolls. I felt the filling was lacking flavor (I made it exactly as specified). I will try it again, but following some of the suggestions: 1. Try Miracle Whip instead of mayo 2. Try Flaking the imitation crab more

Bear in mind that this is a crab sandwich, not a lobster sandwich. That said, it would be much better with the flat-sided hot dog buns used to make a "real" Maine lobster roll. Those come in a slab with vertical cuts in the tops. You break the slab apart and end up with rolls that have flat, soft sides. You then butter then and brown them in a fry pan. They are hard to find in many parts of the country. If you cannot find those, buy large hotdog buns, the kind slit horizontally. Then carefully slice the top crust off, as well as the bottom. Butter the top and bottom, then brown in a fry pan. Fill with the crab mixture. Yummmmmm.... We also prefer to mix the crab with Miracle whip as opposed to "real" mayonnaise, and DH likes a little bit of finely diced onion in his.

I left out the onion,added shrimp and 1/4 cup sour cream. I also increased the seasoning. I cut sub rolls in three inch sections and hollowed them out to form a cup. I brushed them with butter and toasted them. I filled them and served them at Wed Night Church supper (for 45, increase the recipe 7X) along with the Sausage-Stuffed French Loaf and a salad buffet. I turned out great! We've added the meal to our menu list!

I liked this. I didnt refrigerate it for 30 minutes though because I was hungry and it still was very good. Also, I just toasted the bun in the toaster because I didnt want to turn the oven on, and then spread some butter on it. Tasty little sandwich. I do still have some of the salad left so we'll see if it tastes any better after you let it sit.

These are good. Not something I would go out of my way to make, but if I have any imitation crab laying around I would make this again. I left off the butter the first time I tried it, and I didn't like it. Then I had it as written the second time and the butter really improved it. I was surprized at what a difference it made.

I really enjoyed this. Husband was kinda 'meh' about it, but he isn't a fan of imitation crab so I wasn't surprised. I used lite mayo and a little more onion. The Old Bay seasoning really does add a nice flavor. Thanks, Erin!
