I am not sure if this is an authentic Japanese recipe, but this is certainly one of my favorite eat-out dish when I dine at Japanese restaurants. This dish is usually called Seafood Dynamite, or Baked Seafood in Dynamite Sauce, or something along that line.
In any case, it’s basically baked assortment of seafood—usually baby shrimp, bay scallop, clam, etc.— in a creamy mayonnaise sauce, spiked with some masago (Capelin roe), and spiced with a wee bit of Sriracha. Seafood Dynamite has all the ingredients that I love, with a flavor that I rather enjoy, especially when I am in the mood for something luscious, rich, and heavy. Because it calls for seafood, it’s a pricy dish and the portion is usually small if you order at Japanese restaurants. The good news is that it’s so much cheaper making Seafood Dynamite at home, and you can have a bigger portion if you like. Plus, it’s easy to make, as you can see from my Seafood Dynamite recipe below…
I prefer buying fresh seafood to make this dish, but you can totally use a frozen mixed seafood pack that is commonly found at supermarkets. My favorite combination is bay scallop, baby shrimp, crab meat, and manila clam (shelled). Seafood Dynamite is really delicious and filling, and perfect as an appetizer or entree (bigger serving).

Deep-Fried Fish and Seafood Galore
One of the things that I miss most about Malaysia is the availability of various kinds of little fishes in the market; little fishes that I grew up eating, little fishes that need no special recipes, little fishes that taste like heaven when deep-fried with just a little salt and turmeric powder or tamarind, little fishes that are so crispy…

Malaysian-style BBQ Seafood
My good friends Farina and Michael came over to visit last week and we made some Malaysian-style BBQ seafood, inspired by this popular hawker fare in Kuala Lumpur (KL), Malaysia. They are called Portuguese-style baked seafood. There is really nothing Portuguese about it but Malaysia do have some Portuguese descendants because Malacca was a Portuguese colony in the 16th century….

Oh yes, I love this at this Japanese izakaya that I always go to. Rich and creamy, super delicious. Thanks for the seafood dynamite recipe.
What is cheese powder? Would you use fresh grated cheese?
It was a typo, I meant grated cheese. You can use fresh grated cheese. I don’t have it at home and just have bottled grated cheese so I used that instead.
What type of cheese ?? Mozzarella, Cheddar, Gouda, Brie, Parmesan Camembert etc? Can I use Philly cream cheese?
Cheese powder seems like an odd ingredient. Cheese is generally disliked among asians. While you list it as optional, I’m interested in hearing more how you arrived at including it in the recipe.
It was a typo, should be grated cheese. You can use fresh grated cheese. I don’t have it at home and just have bottled grated cheese so I used that instead.
hi, what kind of grated cheese do we use? grated parmesan or chredder? thanks
Up to you, your personal choice.
That looks so good.
what is masago? sounds like a delicious seafood bake. thanks.
Capelin roe. They can be found at Asian supermarkets or Japanese food stores.
That looks delicious Bee! I am especially glad that you gave me the dynamite recipe sauce!
The title of this post made me laugh. Calling a dish “dynamite” sounds so silly, yet it looks pretty darn sedap!
I’ve tried something like this with just scallops…I can imagine it being even better with various seafood!
Hard to find fresh shrimps, clams, scallops, and crab all at one go in my kitchen. Maybe have to make do with frozen :O …have tried this before but I am already liking this dynamite!
This looks so good! you have me hungry!
I tried this once before in Japanese but with lesser seafood combination. Your one looks better with creative combination :)
oh gosh, this really makes me hungry! available in japanese restaurants?!
Hi, Tigerfish. Next time when you come across fresh shrimps don’t forget to buy lots of them. Here’s a tip for how to keep them fresh for a long long time.
With kitchen scissors snip off the sharp horn, eyes and feelers from the shrimp heads. Wash shrimps and line them up neatly in a clean ice-cream container until full leaving about 1 inch from the top of the box. Then fill the container of shrimps with water until they are covered by about half inch of water. Snap on the ice-cream box cover and place in freezer.
After 6 months or a year, you just thaw the prawns out and they will be as fresh as the day you bought them. Try it.
Wow, this recipe looks tasty. The picture makes my mouth water. I can’t wait to try it out for my family. Thanks for sharing this great looking recipe
