Whether you're in the mood for luscious lobster rolls, grilled salmon burgers, dainty smoked salmon tea sandwiches, a po'boy, or an extra-special tuna sandwich, you'll find the perfect recipe here.
Top-split buns are the time-honored choice for lobster rolls, but side-split buns can be used instead. While purists may insist on only mayonnaise or melted butter to dress the lobster meat, we think that some fresh chives and tarragon are a delicious addition.
Fried cornmeal-coated flounder finds a home in these Louisiana po'boys. Make the sandwich in one long baguette, spread with tartar sauce, and top with sliced tomato and lettuce.
This sandwich features moist, oil-packed tuna mixed with celery, apple, fresh basil, light mayo, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Use to make a sandwich on good-quality sourdough bread for an easy, satisfying lunch or dinner.
Smoked salmon replaces the ham in this classic French sandwich of cheese, fried egg, and bechamel sauce. Serve these for brunch as an elegant departure from eggs and toast.
Make tuna melts on halved baguettes and cut into snack-size slices to serve. These little bites are a great addition to a game-day party or a lunch with kids.
No need to dip the scallops in egg wash before breading them; their natural moisture makes the coating stick. Serve the sandwiches with a spread made of store-bought mayonnaise doctored with paprika and hot sauce.
Basil pesto replaces the usual mayonnaise in this Mediterranean take on the tuna salad sandwich. Toast the English muffin before assembling the sandwich, if you like.
Buttery smoked salmon and crisp, bitter endive are a winning combination in these dainty tea sandwiches. The cream cheese-scallion spread can be prepared a few days in advance.
A combination of shrimp and cod gives these burgers a great texture, and capers lend them a briny, Mediterranean taste. Spread tarragon tartar sauce on hamburger buns for an added layer of flavor.

Meaty chopped tuna comes together with garlic, sesame oil, anchovy, and basil in a flavorful patty. Grill to your preference -- just three to four minutes for rare, up to 8 minutes per side for well-done -- and top with pickled ginger, easy-to-make wasabi mayonnaise, and your choice of bun.
Mix together chopped salmon fillets, smoked salmon, and fresh dill to make these out-of-the-ordinary burgers. The salmon patties will be delicate, so it's best to cook them in a nonstick skillet.

A favorite menu item at the legendary Russ and Daughters specialty-food store in Manhattan, this sandwich combines whitefish and salmon salad with horseradish-dill cream cheese on a fresh bagel. You can purchase the wasabi-infused flying fish roe on their website.
