You're Right Tim, but nori is dark green and crab meat isn't Dark Green. Unless there's a Nori powder that is creamy white in colour, then we're onto something.
Mmmmmmmmmm tofu. I don’t know why peeps be hating on it. They’re all like *oh it has no flavoooor* WELL MAYBE IF YOU SEASON IT PROBABLY THEN MAYBE IT WONT BE PLAIN.
Lisa, what a great idea to shred tofu like this. I'm going to try this sandwich as well as a "pulled" tofu with BBQ sauce version with coleslaw. Thanks :)
I saw this many years ago and wanted to make it but never had and I couldn’t find the recipe. And it just popped up when I searched for vegan seafood and that made me happy 😃 now I could save it and make it 🥰 I’m only missing 3 ing which I will but tomorrow. Thank you 🙏🏽
Crab is light and fluffy and shredded. Lobster for lobster rolls is chunky and more dense and chewy. I'm watching this again because I'm hungry and it's 3:30 a.m.! I can be your go-to Seafood person or food historian. :-) I bet that smoked tofu would be awesome in a corn chowder mmm mmm good!
I love this...I was thinking it was going to be jackfruit as the dupe, but this is so much better because it's actually still protein. Can't wait to try this!
Omg this is fantastic! I never heard of shredding smoked tofu but now that I have the possibilities are endless! I can see vegan 'crab' cakes in my future, or vegan 'tuna' salad with seaweed powder for that ocean flavor. 😃 Thank you!
Binging your videos right now while drinking beer and trying to unwind from a crazy week so excuse all my random comments lol. If you don't know yet (I didn't read the comments) if you rip the end or top of the celery vs cutting it off, it exposed the "spines" of the celery that you can just pull out. This eliminates the sticking in your teeth. My grandpa taught me that and my mind was blown!!
Don't know if anyone has said this but, a tip for celery. If you don't like the strings just use a carrot peeler before you use the knife and peel the outside of the celery. No more strings but yes for celery. It has changed my celery life. :)
This looks good. I love watching your videos. I'll have to keep my eyes open for some smoked tofu. Not easy to find around here without going to the expensive places.
Definitely trying this recipe today!!!! With some Heart of plams though cuz that's what I have 🤣 but this looks amazing. Gotta grab that mayo hellman's carefully crafted you say🤔....
Thank you for sharing. Holy crap! I made this and it was so good. I just recently committed to being vegetarian (like less than a year ago) so I can still vividly recall what real crab rolls taste like and these are actually super close. I couldn't find smoked tofu so I pressed and baked some extra firm tofu and it shredded pretty decently. I'm definitely going to make this again.
That looks awesome! It reminds me of the “tuna” salad as well. I may make the pasta salad for dinner since I don’t have that kind of tofu. I wonder if a tablespoon of Dijon mustard might be a nice addition? 🧐✌🏻🌱😋
Brilliant. One of the best videos like this I've ever seen. Well done and thanks for posting! P.S. I found this by searching for a video on making vegetarian lobster sauce (to use in stir-fry). Don't know if anybody's come up with that yet. How do we get that flavor?
When I saw that you were using a product that my grocery store ACTUALLY carries (the struggles of being Canadian) I got so excited and went out and bought the tofu and made it for supper. It's something I never would've thought to make and it was seriously incredible.
I really love how you show the "disaster" side of cooking, because it makes me feel like I, a disaster person, can actually do this. Most cooking shows are too refined? Like I just watch it and think... well that essentially restaurant food. Impossible. You give me hope! (I still just eat spaghetti and nooch though...)
That is brilliant, Lisa! And I wonder if that would work as a "chickn" salad if the tofu was seasoned with "chickn"/poultry seasoning to give it a chickeny taste...
Omg this looks SO GOOD. I keep seeing y'all Canadian vegans with your smoked tofu and I've never seen that in the US for some reason. I'm craving for something I've never even eaten help 😂
Hi! The tahini I buy from supermarkets are very often bitter (not always though), and sometimes very bitter. I checked the internet and it's supposed to be "normal" but how is that sometimes they are not bitter?
I would just notice my tongue get really itchy every time i ate it raw haha. Now I just try to limit how much I eat or I get that itchy feeling XD But if it's cooked its fine!
Your puns kill me 😂 DEFINITELY going to try this recipe!! Sounds like something I could share with my non-vegan family. I don't have access to an oven, so it's awesome to come across recipes that require minimal equipment. PS I love following you on Insta too! @yovegangirl
Hellman’s makes a vegan mayo? I’ll have to keep an eye out for that although Sir Kensington has a new one with avocado oil and aquafaba that I’m still trying to find. They have had one with avocado oil but with egg yolks, and one with sunflower oil and aquafaba.
Oh I had no idea Sir Kensington made non-vegan products, I've always seen their fabanaise in my friends' grocery hauls and assumed all their stuff was vegan. Yeah Hellman's came out with a vegan mayo after trying to sue Just Mayo lulz. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em, I guess.
I find it at fish markets actually lol. They think im weird for only getting the seasoning but vegans gotta do what they gotta do for the old bay hahaha
Crab rolls will often have celery in them but myself being from the coast of Maine a very good one doesn't have anything other than a little bit of mayonnaise salt and pepper. Other people will put onion and celery and pretty much the same with lobster rolls. No they are not on hoagie rolls lobster rolls and crab rolls are served in a top split hot dog bun.! You don't get them on anything else but that in Maine.
Aaah good to know! When I was doing research and I kept seeing celery so I tried it and liked it, but yeah, aside from the texture, the ingredients of lobster and crab rolls looked the same!
Seems like maybe part of the mayo portion could be ripe avocados.!?! Wow-what an easy recipe. No cooking!!! ♥️🐝♥️🐝♥️🐝♥️🐝♥️🐝♥️🐝♥️🙋♀️its march 26-2020; quarantine hunker down time. Time to learn new recipes!!🏂Thank You♥️😎♥️
Crab rolls and lobster rolls are always always served on a hot dog bun! It's a New England bun that is top split with a flat bottom but they're always on the hot dog roll then never on a hoagie roll. You don't have to reply to these messages you know.

BroadcastEddie hey Eddie! I'm waving but you can't see me. :-)
Nori crumbles actually give it seafood flavor
You're Right Tim, but nori is dark green and crab meat isn't Dark Green. Unless there's a Nori powder that is creamy white in colour, then we're onto something.

OMG LISA! I WANT TO EAT THESE SOOOO BAD!!!!!
Hahahah I want to make sushi with it now thanks to you XD
Hi Mary and Lisa!
Hi Mary! I love seeing two of the vegan RUclipsr channels I follow inspiring one another. 🙌🏽
This stuff is amazing! I used it to make vegan crab salad sushi bowls, and I think my life will never be the same...
Shredded tofu - BRILLIANT!!!
Mary's a genius :)
Just had this for lunch today ...so amazing! So delicious. Thank you!
I saw this many years ago and wanted to make it but never had and I couldn’t find the recipe. And it just popped up when I searched for vegan seafood and that made me happy 😃 now I could save it and make it 🥰
I’m only missing 3 ing which I will but tomorrow. Thank you 🙏🏽
Wow these look good. I wish I could fit more meals into my day cuz every new video I watch is something new I want to try.
hahah welcome to my life
Like that shredding tofu idea. Gives me a reason to use my Cuisinart food processor since I don't have a manual shredder any more.
Crab is light and fluffy and shredded. Lobster for lobster rolls is chunky and more dense and chewy. I'm watching this again because I'm hungry and it's 3:30 a.m.! I can be your go-to Seafood person or food historian. :-) I bet that smoked tofu would be awesome in a corn chowder mmm mmm good!
Freaking LOVE you & Mary!💛
Yum! Old Bay makes a faux seafood dish! On another note, try Old Bay sprinkled on Kettle Corn popcorn. Unbelievably delicious!
You are my favorite food vlogger! Your personality is so chill and your food is spot on!
You could replace celery with water chestnut. I think it gives a similar crunch, no strings, plus you might not be allergic
You had me at smoked tofu.
you just saved me time lmfao fuck tofu
I love this...I was thinking it was going to be jackfruit as the dupe, but this is so much better because it's actually still protein. Can't wait to try this!
lol I love that squishy, schelchy sound! I'm so making this!
Omg this is fantastic! I never heard of shredding smoked tofu but now that I have the possibilities are endless! I can see vegan 'crab' cakes in my future, or vegan 'tuna' salad with seaweed powder for that ocean flavor. 😃 Thank you!
Shredded smoked tofu!!! Genius!
Added some seaweed!
That’s what I’m thinking

Man, I totally feel you on celery. I really wished I liked it!
Looks sooooo good! Also love Mary’s channel 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I bought mayo today and I've got the right kind of smoked tofu, so this sandwich will happen SOON! *-* I'm excited
Fabulous !! Looks bomb AF can’t wait to try this.
Made mine with smashed avocado for the mayo. Bomb!
Awesome! I’ve been struggling to find a good creamy vegan sandwich base and I think this may be it!
Your videos bring me so much joy! ☺️
I dream of these!! Thank you ... i made your recipe before! It really is the best vegan crab recipe ever
Great video, and Hella good crab salad!!!!
If you're having trouble with celery, replace it with fennel, which is very nice and makes a good substitute.
Will definately be making this!
Don't know if anyone has said this but, a tip for celery. If you don't like the strings just use a carrot peeler before you use the knife and peel the outside of the celery. No more strings but yes for celery. It has changed my celery life. :)
This looks good. I love watching your videos. I'll have to keep my eyes open for some smoked tofu. Not easy to find around here without going to the expensive places.
Pro top. Use a veggie peeler on celery and it's less stringy and more palatable.
Finally a vegan seafood roll that is LEGIT! And I have some of that smoked tofu right now, so happy so excited for this ❤😎
YUMM OH!! You make me so hungry!! Thank you Lisa looks soo good!
This is da bomb!! Just made it, delicious!!!!!!
I can't get smoked tofu anywhere near my. I gotta figure out how they make it so dense. Looks amazing..
Thank you for this idea, so good.
It looks delicious! Thank you! I love your style!
Must try ASAP!!!
Definitely trying this recipe today!!!! With some Heart of plams though cuz that's what I have 🤣 but this looks amazing. Gotta grab that mayo hellman's carefully crafted you say🤔....
Looks really good!

I couldn't find smoked tofu so I pressed and baked some extra firm tofu and it shredded pretty decently.
I'm definitely going to make this again.
Great recipe thanks! Can you do a faux raw fish recipe for sushi? I miss that taste a lot
I must try it. It looks amazing :):):)
That looks awesome! It reminds me of the “tuna” salad as well. I may make the pasta salad for dinner since I don’t have that kind of tofu. I wonder if a tablespoon of Dijon mustard might be a nice addition? 🧐✌🏻🌱😋

I AM HERE FOR THIS. *drives to missisauga for some*
When I saw that you were using a product that my grocery store ACTUALLY carries (the struggles of being Canadian) I got so excited and went out and bought the tofu and made it for supper. It's something I never would've thought to make and it was seriously incredible.
Haha I'm Canadian too and I always try to use stuff that my fellow Canucks have :)
The ‘lobster’ roll looks so good! Going to give it a try at the weekend 😉
Wow you have an amazing voice! Smoked tofu also looks tasty.
It looks delicious thank you!
Oh ya I’m trying that recipe
This looks AMAZING 😍 here from the #dontrushchallenge video you all did on Instagram. So inspired by all of you! just subbed 🥰
im trying this
I love the hellmans, in my opinion it taste the most like mayo❤
So easy!!! I needa find this smoked tofu somewhere.
I really love how you show the "disaster" side of cooking, because it makes me feel like I, a disaster person, can actually do this. Most cooking shows are too refined? Like I just watch it and think... well that essentially restaurant food. Impossible. You give me hope! (I still just eat spaghetti and nooch though...)
This looks soooo good. I can never find smoked tofu where I live just "baked" 🤔 but maybe that will work ?
+Keeley Simeth if its super dense then it should work!
That is brilliant, Lisa! And I wonder if that would work as a "chickn" salad if the tofu was seasoned with "chickn"/poultry seasoning to give it a chickeny taste...
That'd definitely work!
I'm also allergic to celery but I also hate the taste of it so I'm not at all bummed about that :D I don't even have to lie that I'm allergic
Looks sooo good! gonna have to make this
This looks bangin
Break the white end from the sellery slowly and then pull it apart with the strings slowly to the other end then you remove most of the stringy part
This is so cool I love this ! 👌
🎵 my body is a caaaaage 🎶
(recipe looks *excelllent* btw)
ty ty :) and arcade fire ftw!
I'm a quarter Vietnamese. Yay! #represent lol
Looks soooooooooooo good🤤🤤😍😍
I love the Hellmen's. I don't find that it tastes like miracle whip at all though, I hated that shit. lol. I'll give this a try!
Maybe water chestnuts instead of celery?
Ps you can peel the strings off celery with a potato peeler x
Omg this looks SO GOOD. I keep seeing y'all Canadian vegans with your smoked tofu and I've never seen that in the US for some reason. I'm craving for something I've never even eaten help 😂
aw even if you had that super pressed tofu that's really solid that'd be good too
I feel like we are missing the smoked tofu magic. I can get pressed but I want to try the smoked.
Kyla Crawford I know, right?! They make it look sooo good. Hopefully it'll come to the states soon! 🤩
Annaliese D I've seen smoked tofu at Wal-Mart but it comes in a super small package for too much money
Im surprised. I’m in the US and have never had a problem getting smoked tofu. I buy it all the time.
Darn! that looks good!!! Luv your Vids!!!
Anyone tell me where I can get smoked tofu? Thanks
Where do u purchased your smoke Tofu from?
Hi! The tahini I buy from supermarkets are very often bitter (not always though), and sometimes very bitter. I checked the internet and it's supposed to be "normal" but how is that sometimes they are not bitter?
Looks soooo good. How did you ever figure out you’re allergic to celery? So random. 😀🙃
I would just notice my tongue get really itchy every time i ate it raw haha. Now I just try to limit how much I eat or I get that itchy feeling XD But if it's cooked its fine!
Your puns kill me 😂 DEFINITELY going to try this recipe!! Sounds like something I could share with my non-vegan family. I don't have access to an oven, so it's awesome to come across recipes that require minimal equipment. PS I love following you on Insta too! @yovegangirl

Yummm this is so easy. Does anyone know where to find that tofu in the US?
+Christina Carlile any sort of pressed tofu should work! Its like more firm than extra firm lol
The Viet Vegan aw thanks! Look forward to making this recipe :)
Don’t you wash the veggies before cutting and chopping?
Throw some shredded cabbage in that bad boy!
MY BODY IS A CAGE ARCADE FIRE
Yip yip yiiiippp
Sailor Moon!!!!!
Use water chestnuts 🌰 for the added crunch like in spinach dip.
Oouuuuu ALRIGHT I SEE YOU that sounds suh gud
In wich canadian grocery can we find Old Bay seasoning, i never found it???
I find it at fish markets actually lol. They think im weird for only getting the seasoning but vegans gotta do what they gotta do for the old bay hahaha
The Viet Vegan thank you i’ll take a look 😀

You could totally swap it out with avocado. It would impact the flavour obviously but still would be a creamy addition thats kind of a glue haha.
Can you press tofu to the shreddable texture?
Some other people have pressed and then baked it to dry it out a bit more, but you may need to experiment :)
pho!
Crab rolls and lobster rolls are always always served on a hot dog bun! It's a New England bun that is top split with a flat bottom but they're always on the hot dog roll then never on a hoagie roll. You don't have to reply to these messages you know.
Tofu newbie here-- can anyone tell me what smoked tofu tastes like?
Complete and utter deliciousness. Like whoa. Lol.
Since you are allergic to celery use radish and celery seed. 😊
seafood gumbo! uh posole
Omg! I've never encountered another celery-allergic person, I feel your pain. I'm not crazy about the taste either :/
how long can you keep it in the fridge?
I usually eat it by 3 days haha. Health and safety wise, probably 2-3 days, but for me personally I would eat it until it started to smell funky lol.
