~~Lobster Roll~~

~~Lobster Roll~~

Okay let the battle begin!
Mayo or Butter?



The Bun.
That is half of the battle, finding a good hot dog bun! I haven’t found one yet that I like, the main factor that I look for are the bun doesn’t crumble or get soggy. I tried everything from grinder rolls to the common hot dog roll with the balloons on the bag. I think that what you buy they should be fresh after that they crumble.

The Butter Lobster Roll:

Ingredients:
  • Cooked Lobster meat (include the knuckle, claws, and tail meat)
  • Roll
  • Butter
  • Old Bay seasoning
  • Lemon slice

Directions:
  • Split the roll and brown the insides. (I use the broiler and not the toaster setting because I like it only browned on the inside). Some like to butter the bun now but I find that it makes the roll soggy so I wait to the end.
  • Squeeze the lemon slice over the meat.
  • Place the lobster meat in the roll and season to taste with the Old Bay Seasoning.
  • Okay, the traditional way is to drizzle the butter over the lobster roll but I like to put the melted butter in a custard dish and dip the end of the lobster roll in it.

The Mayo Lobster Roll:

Ingredients:
  • Cook Lobster meat (include the knuckle, claws, and tail meat)
  • Roll
  • Old Bay seasoning
  • Minced celery
  • Minced chives
  • Mayonnaise
  • Lemon slice

Directions:
  • Split the roll and brown the insides. (I use the broiler and not the toaster setting because I like it only browned on the inside).
  • Mix the mayonnaise, celery, chives and season with the Old Bay seasoning.
  • Add the lobster meat and stir in until the lobster is fully coated.
  • Fill the roll with the mixture and squeeze the lemon slice over the meat..
Which type do I like?
Well it is something like this… sometimes I feel like a nut and other times I don’t.
