Crab Rolls

This recipe is a twist on a classic lobster roll, but I’m swapping out the lobster for crab and mixing it with an herby mayo-based dressing. I like to make the crab mixture in advance and then fill the rolls right before serving.

Ingredients

1 pound jumbo lump crab meat, drained and picked through for shells, keeping the pieces as large as possible

3 green onions, thinly sliced

1 large celery stalk, chopped

1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

2 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon

1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill

2 teaspoons lemon zest plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon seafood seasoning

1/3 cup mayonnaise

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Toasted split-top buns, for serving

Potato chips, for serving, optional

Directions

  1. Add the crab, green onions, celery, chives, tarragon, dill, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic powder, seafood seasoning and mayo to a large bowl. Carefully fold the mixture together, trying to keep the crab in large pieces. Mix until fully incorporated. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Spoon the crab mixture into the toasted buns and serve immediately with chips, if desired.
