From feeding a family to planning for a potluck, you can't beat a casserole for its ability to pack a full (and full-flavored) meal into one dish. And when it comes to seafood, casseroles appeal to a crowd like few dishes can. After all, who can resist a dish that's some combination of cheesy, starchy, saucy, and finished with a crunchy topping? Catch our favorite seafood casserole recipes here, including fisherman's pie, shrimp enchilada casserole, lobster lasagna, and more.

As if lobster doesn't taste luxurious enough with a pour of butter, this lasagna smothers it with Alfredo sauce, ricotta, Cheddar, and Parmesan. It packs in a container of spinach, too, but as home cook MOLLE888 notes, the leaves cook down.

Go in a different direction with tuna casserole using this Portuguese-inspired recipe, which promises to be just as convenient to prepare. "Surprisingly good," home cook tjs775 says. "Kids ate it. Added red peppers and green onions because that is what I had in the fridge. Would probably be good with any veggies. Great way to use up leftover rice too."

Some reviewers call this casserole a family favorite for holidays, but others simply make it to quell their oyster cravings. "I cut the corn amount to one can and this is the best oyster recipe I've seen. The corn makes the oysters seem a bit less overpowering," home cook Golfer Girl says. "Excellent recipe!"

Baked as a casserole, our Shrimp Enchiladas Suizas win reviewers over for their tangy sauce of jalapenos, tomatillos, onion, and cilantro, heavy cream, and chicken broth. Amp up the flavor with dollops of sour cream before serving.

We promised to go beyond your typical tuna casserole, and this lightened-up take does that with crisp celery, red bell pepper, carrot, and cremini mushrooms. Low-fat Alfredo sauce and sour cream give it the creaminess everyone expects from tuna casserole.
