Method
Prepare Lobster Filling
Cook Lobster
If not using pre-cooked lobster, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lobster and cook for about 8-10 minutes until bright red and cooked through. Remove from the pot and let cool.
Chop Lobster
Once cooled, remove the lobster meat from the shell and chop it into bite-sized pieces.
Mix Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the chopped lobster meat, mayonnaise, finely chopped celery, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and chives. Stir gently until well mixed. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Prepare Buns
Toast Buns
In a skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the hot dog buns and toast them on each side until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
Assemble and Serve
Fill Buns
Once the buns are toasted, carefully fill each bun with the lobster mixture.
Serve
Serve the lobster rolls immediately, garnished with additional chives if desired.
