Ingredients

To cook the lobsters:

  • Kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 lemons
  • 1 head garlic, split horizontally
  • 1 thyme bundle
  • 2 dried bay leaves
  • 2 (1 1/2-pound) lobsters

For the lobster rolls:

  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 celery rib, cut into 1/4 inch dice
  • 1/2 bunch of chives, finely chopped
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • Celery salt
  • 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) of unsalted butter
  • 1 clove garlic, smashed
  • 4 top split hot dog rolls

Directions

To cook the lobsters:

Fill a large pot with water and season it generously with salt. Squeeze the lemons into the water and drop them in and toss in the garlic, thyme bundle and bay leaves. Bring the water to a boil and drop the lobsters in. Cover and cook for 11 minutes. Remove the lobsters from the pot and let cool.

Remove the lobster claws, knuckles and tails from the shells and coarsely chop.

In a large mixing bowl combine the chopped lobster, 1/2 cup of mayo, celery, chives and lemon juice. Mix together and season with celery salt. Add remaining 1/4 cup of mayo if you like the mix a little creamier (this is traditionally a very low mayo type deal). Taste to make sure the lobster is delicious and reserve.

Toss the butter and garlic into a large saute pan and melt the butter. When the butter is melted, bubbly and very garlicky smelling, remove the garlic clove and discard it. Add the hot dog rolls to the pan and cook in the garlic butter on both sides until the butter is absorbed and the rolls and crispy on both sides.

Divide the reserved lobster between the 4 buttered rolls and serve immediately.

    A perfect Labor Day lunch...full of flavor, easy to prepare. Fellow New Englanders..relax. Yes, most of us steam lobsters plainly and keep the filling simple, but break out of your shell--play on words. This is worth a try. Our favorite roll, however, is simply to toss the meat with hot melted butter. Yum!

    I totally agree with "salmonoid" I live on Cape Cod, my Husband has been catching lobsta for 40 years and we never add spices of any kind. We use sea water or very salty water to "steam" them.
    I watched to see if Ann peeled the meat off the tail so she could clean the poop out. Didn't see that happen. Try it without the spices it is soooooooo much better. Enjoy!
