The calories in a seafood salad can vary dramatically depending on the ingredients used in the recipe. Homemade versions can be healthy and low in calories, especially when focusing on using fish and vegetables. Calories increase by adding salad dressing, mayonnaise, pasta and sugar.
Calories
A seafood salad recipe that uses canned tuna, shrimp and crab meat, seashell pasta, carrots, onion, salad dressing, french dressing, milk and sugar contains 642 calories per serving, according to Allrecipes.com. Whole Foods has a quick seafood salad recipe that uses fresh fish, canola mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, dried dill, lemon juice and Romaine lettuce. This recipe has 180 calories per serving.
Considerations
Grocery store deli counters usually have seafood salad available. The seafood salad at the Publix deli has 180 calories in 1/2 cup, Albertson's has 110 calories in 3/4 cup and Walmart's has 130 calories in 3/4 cup, according to FatSecret.
Warning
The seafood salad in restaurants will usually contain more calories than homemade or deli versions. FatSecret reports that the tuna and salmon seafood salads at The Cheesecake Factory have 520 to 565 calories per serving. The miso seafood salad at The California Pizza Kitchen has 596 calories. The Golden Corral seafood salad calories are, however, more comparable to deli calories at 140 per 1/2-cup serving.
