Classic Lobster Roll

Ingredients

  • 1 pound cooked lobster meat cut into bite sized chunks
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ cup finely chopped celery (use tender inner stalks)
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 teaspoons green tops from a scallion, minced fine
  • 1 dash hot sauce (we like Cholula)
  • Pinch is salt
  • Few grinds freshly ground black pepper
  • Split-top hot dog rolls
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • Optional – lettuce for serving.
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh dill chopped, plus more for garnish

Directions

  1. Place the cooked lobster meat in large bowl.
  2. In a separate, smaller bowl combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, celery, parsley, scallion, hot sauce, and salt and pepper. Mix and taste for seasoning. Once you have the seasoning to your liking, add to the cooked lobster meat and mix.
  3. Brush both sides of rolls with butter and toast both sides in a medium fry pan over medium heat until nicely browned.
  4. Divide the lobster salad between each roll per your preference. Some serve lettuce under the lobster salad but we like it without, your choice.
  5. Place the shrimp, imitation crab, celery, red onion, Old Bay seasoning, lemon juice, salt, pepper, mayonnaise and dill in a bowl. Toss gently to coat.
  6. Garnish with additional fresh dill and serve, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
