A classic New England-style lobster roll featuring succulent lobster meat lightly dressed with mayo and lemon, served in a buttery toasted bun.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb cooked lobster meat, chopped
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives or parsley (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 4 top-split hot dog buns
  • 2 tbsp butter (for toasting buns)
  • Optional: lettuce leaves or a dash of celery salt

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine lobster meat, mayonnaise, lemon juice, chives or parsley (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix gently until coated.
  2. Chill the lobster mixture in the fridge for 15–30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  3. Meanwhile, heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Toast the outer sides of the hot dog buns until golden and crisp.
  4. Optional: line buns with lettuce leaves for extra crunch.
  5. Fill each bun generously with the lobster mixture and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use freshly cooked lobster or high-quality frozen lobster for best flavor.
  • For a warm variation, skip mayo and toss lobster with warm drawn butter before filling buns.
  • Serve with kettle chips or coleslaw on the side.
