Cook and Prepare Lobster
If using whole lobsters, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lobsters and cook for about 8-10 minutes until bright red and cooked through. Remove from pot and let cool. Once cooled, remove the meat from the claws and tail, and chop into bite-sized pieces.

Mix Lobster Filling
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped lobster meat, mayonnaise, finely chopped celery, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and chopped dill. Mix gently until all ingredients are well combined. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Butter the Rolls
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Slice the New England-style rolls down the center without cutting all the way through. Open the rolls and place them in the skillet, cut side down. Toast until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
