Notes
Captain’s Tip: Go easy on the mayo. Too much mayonnaise and you’ve got a watery roll.
The bread should never outweigh your lobster meat! Can’t find a good roll in your locale? Try a brioche bun or a nice buttery croissant. Also be sure to visit your local bakery for fresh bread.
Optional: Add fresh chives and lemon zest to your mayo, or fresh chopped celery for a little crunch. You can also layer lettuce in buns, but we like to say no to lobster filler.
To make a naked or hot buttered lobster roll just skip the mayo and stuff your lobster rolls with chilled lobster meat and drizzle with hot butter.
