Method

Lobster Filling Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lobster Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked lobster meat, mayonnaise, finely chopped celery, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Gently toss until all ingredients are well mixed. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.

Assembling the Lobster Roll

  1. 2

    Toast the Buns

    Preheat a skillet or grill over medium heat. Lightly butter the outside of each hot dog bun. Place the buns in the skillet or on the grill and toast until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  2. 3

    Build the Lobster Roll

    Once the buns are toasted, place a generous handful of shredded lettuce inside each bun. Spoon the lobster mixture evenly over the lettuce in each bun.

  3. 4

    Serve

    Serve the lobster rolls immediately with coleslaw, French fries, and pickles on the side.
