Tasty Seafood Casseroles

There are some great seafood casseroles and we make a lot of them in the Maritimes. Why wouldn't we? Like I mentioned before we were mostly brought up with seafood so our grandmothers and mothers had to find different ways to cook it to keep it interesting.

Here is the Annapolis Valley we also love to hold "Pot Luck" suppers a lot. The best thing to take to a "Pot Luck" supper is a casserole, so we came up with a lot of varieties.

Below I have shared some of my favorite recipes for different seafood casseroles. If you have a favorite we would love to hear about it also. Just use the form on the bottom of this page and share your great casserole recipes with us.
