Lobster Filling Preparation

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, combine the fresh lobster meat, mayonnaise, finely chopped celery, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and chopped chives. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

  2. 2

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Roll Assembly

    While the lobster filling is chilling, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.

  2. 4

    Once melted, add the New England-style hot dog buns to the skillet and toast them on both sides until golden brown.

  3. 5

    Remove the toasted buns from the skillet and place a lettuce leaf inside each bun.

  4. 6

    Spoon the chilled lobster filling generously into each bun over the lettuce.

Serving

    Prepare the potato fries according to package instructions or your preferred method.

  2. 8

    Serve the lobster rolls alongside the fries on a plate. Enjoy your classic lobster roll!
