When you think of seafood, you might not immediately think of eating a sandwich — and vice versa. However, if you're a seafood aficionado, it's worth seeking out a sandwich shop in your area that specializes in its fare from the deep. While any seafood lover enjoys eating his or her favorite seafood selections on a plate with a knife and fork, it's fun and convenient to enjoy many such items sandwiched between a pair of pieces of bread. If you're a seafood lover, be sure to check out these tasty sandwiches at your local sandwich shop.

Fried Fish

Fish and chips is arguably the most common way to enjoy fried white fish, but many sandwich shops that specialize in seafood fare will have fried fish sandwiches on the menu. You'll commonly get to choose the type of fish among options such as cod and haddock, while you may even be able to choose the type of breading that is used.

For example, you may favor beer batter or perhaps something such as tempura, which is lighter. Then, your choice will be loaded onto a bun or placed between two pieces of bread, often with tartar sauce as a condiment.

Clam Strips

Clam strips are fun to eat on their own, but this breaded seafood fare can also work well as the focal point of a sandwich. Breaded clam strips have a satisfying texture — you get the initial crunch from the breading and then the chewiness of the clams themselves.

You'll often find cocktail sauce as a condiment on such a sandwich, giving you a pleasant combination of sweetness, acidity, and spiciness. Paired with a doughy roll or a pair of thick-cut pieces of fresh bread, this is a sandwich that may quickly climb up your list of favorites.

Lobster Roll

You don't necessarily have to travel to the coast to enjoy a lobster roll. If there's a sandwich shop in your area that specializes in seafood, this popular sandwich may be on the menu. Typically served in a long roll with broken-up pieces of lobster claw and tail mixed with mayonnaise, a lobster roll is a rich and satisfying sandwich. You'll enjoy the buttery flavor and chewy texture of the lobster in each bite, as well as the common sides of fries and coleslaw. A few squirts of fresh lemon atop the sandwich will give it a bright, citrus accent.
