1
Prepare Pickled Veg
In a bowl, mix cucumber, carrots, red onion, vinegar, sugar, and salt. Allow to marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.
2
Make Lobster Mixture
In a mixing bowl, combine lobster meat, mayonnaise, lemon juice, celery, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
3
Assemble the Sandwich
Spread butter on the outside of each slice of bread. On the inside, spread a generous amount of the lobster mixture. Top with pickled vegetables, then close the sandwich.
4
Press the Sandwich
Heat a pan over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the pan and use a heavy skillet to press down. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
5
Prepare Kettle Chips
In a large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potato slices in batches until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt.
6
Serve
Slice the pressed sandwich in half and serve with kettle chips on the side.
