Preparation

1. Prepare the Lobster Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped lobster meat, mayonnaise, diced celery, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Gently fold everything together until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

2. Prepare the Rolls

Brush the inside of each hot dog roll with melted butter. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Toast the rolls on the skillet, buttered side down, until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from heat.

3. Assemble the Lobster Rolls

Evenly distribute the lobster filling into the toasted rolls. Optionally, sprinkle chopped chives or parsley on top for added flavor and presentation.

4. Serve and Enjoy

Arrange the Maine Lobster Rolls on a platter and serve immediately. Pair with potato chips, coleslaw, or a crisp salad for a complete meal.
