Homemade Seafood Salad, what do you put into yours?

I like Lobster, Shrimp and Lump Crab as my base, any new and fun ideas that I can make for my Mother as a gift for a late Mother's Day present? (in the hospital for Research Clinical Trial for her Cancer), flowers just weren't enough! Thank you in advance!

Homemade Seafood Salad, what do you put into yours?
I start out with poached red salmon ,400g ,poached halibut,400g,steamed u-10 shrimp coarsley chopped,600g, ,steamed King crab legs 400g and grated asiago125g ,with minced green onions ,coriander, fresh lemon juice,grated cucumber,and a third of a cup(to start with) of aioli with a pea of wasabi and 3 mashed anchovies ,then add a drizzle of e.v.o.o. and some grated fresh garlic give it a good toss,but be gentle so you dont destroy the flat fish chunks .add some finely diced celery,onions ,carrots and sweet red pepper for color 250g total





for poaching the fish use 1 ltr of white zin with half an onion ,half an apple three bay leaves 4 alspice,whole 10 pink peppercorns broken and 10 black peppercorns toasted and crushed ,salt to taste-bring to a rolling boil for 3 mins ,reduce heat add fish and simmer til fish is JUST done remove fish immediatly and plunge into cold water to stop cooking ,shrimp should have just turned red /pink and flat fish should be mostly opaque with a hint of translucency,further reduce poaching liquor to 1/5 of original volume and add to salad as a court- boullion to moisten and add flavor to salad enjoy ,hope she likes this ,btw you might wish to add a tbs or two of creme- fraisch or yogurt ,to help cream it up a bit

Reply:I use the same fish - but also add bacon, lemon juice, horseradish sauce (instead of mayo), cilantro and basil. Serve on bib lettuce.
Reply:First off, does your Mom feel like eating seafood right now? I just put in celery, green onions, cucumber and mayo.
