My favorite sub sandwiches are made with imitation crab salad. Some crab salad from Subway and Which Wich has discontinued or just does not serve it anymore. Maybe they just didn’t sell enough to keep them around? Who knows.
That has made me resort to making my own crab salad recipe at home. So for a while, I would just get the Publix Grocery Store Neptune Salad and some submarine rolls and that would satisfy my cravings.
I moved away from the east coast a couple of years ago and there are no Publix stores out here on the west coast. Now I make the salad from scratch.
How to make the Subway Seafood Sensation Recipe
My fav seafood salad recipe is the Publix version. Check the link for that one. It has more ingredients than this simple crab meat salad one.
Publix stores have shrimp and celery in their Neptune salad. The other two sub shops do not. Here is my version of Subway’s Sensational Seafood Salad Recipe and the Which Which Krab Salad recipe.

Made this today with the addition of some finely diced salad shrimp, some parsley, and some Old Bay seasoning. We also used homemade mayonnaise made with Maille mustard.
This recipe is spot on as we remember the long-gone Subway seafood salad. Thanks for sharing!
I am so glad you liked it! Thanks for reading!

Getting ready to try this thank you for sharing this!!!!! Been wishing subway would bring this back!!!
5/5
it’s been a long time since I’ve had the seafood salad sandwich from Subway. but this recipe is a good replacement!
I’m looking forward to see how the salad will freeze and defrost.
thank you for the great recipe!!
Hi Sarah, I am not so sure freezing this salad would make it turn out ok. I updated the post. I have frozen the seafood enchiladas with imitation crab and they are just fine. Best,
Kim
Old bay. You need old bay.
I love me some good krab, and great recipe… but I never really understood what is in it? Is it like the hot dog of fish parts?
Lol, Dan you are cracking me up. Surimi is pollock fish mixed with a salt and sugar paste, then reconstructed to look like expensive seafood, like lobster or crab. I am not sure why they need to fool us.
