Ingredients

  • 1 pound knuckle and claw lobster meat, or 2 (1 1/4-pound) fresh lobsters*
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 4 warm grilled rolls (top split hotdog rolls work well)**
  • Finely chopped lettuce, for garnish
  • Melted butter, for dipping

Directions

In a medium bowl, toss the lobster meat very lightly with the mayonnaise, using a fork. You just want to moisten the meat and not lose the flavor by over-handling. Add lemon juice, to taste. Using about 3 to 4 ounces of meat per roll, place on a warm grilled roll with some lettuce. Serve hot melted butter on the side.

If you prefer to serve a warm lobster roll, heat lobster in the microwave if you have cooked it the day before, just to warm the meat; do not over-heat it as it will dry out. Toss the meat with the lemon juice, and place it on a warm grilled roll with lettuce. Serve hot melted butter on the side.

*Cook's Note: The easiest way is to buy lobster meat is already taken out of the shell at a seafood market. Otherwise, 1 day in advance, buy 2 lobsters, steam or boil them in salted water, and then cool and remove meat from shell. Save the lobster tails for another meal, or chop and mix with the claw and knuckle meat, making sure to take the cartilage out of the claw and remove the stringy parts of the claw meat.

**Cook's Note: Do not use a very bulky roll, or it will take away from the lobster flavor.

    This is a great way to showcase the delicate flavor of the lobster, however, I saw a recipe in a Thomas Keller cookbook that uses heavy whipping cream with a little grainy mustard and salt in place of the mayo. I thought this was THE best. All of the flavor was LOBSTER!! I some times think the sweetness of the mayo is off putting, the savory whipped cream makes the LOBSTER the star. As it should be!

    Thanks for all the tips. As a displaced Rhode Islander I have missed Clam Cakes and Lobster rolls at Aunt Carries. Thanks for the recipe.

    easy and good. Not much to it - used it for an appetizer on mini rolls.
