Sweet, tender lobster meat gently tossed in lemon and mayo, tucked into a buttery toasted bun. This Best Maine Lobster Roll is the ultimate summer classic, perfect for lunch or seaside vibes anytime.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound cooked lobster meat, chopped
  • 4 New England–style hot dog buns
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 celery rib, finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Lettuce leaves (optional, for lining buns)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, gently mix lobster, mayo, lemon zest, lemon juice, celery, chives, salt, and pepper. Chill for 15–30 minutes.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium. Butter buns and toast on each side until golden.
  3. Line buns with lettuce if using, then fill with chilled lobster mixture.
  4. Garnish with extra chives and serve immediately with chips and a pickle.

Notes

  • Use claw and knuckle meat for the most tender texture.
  • Do not overmix—keep lobster pieces chunky.
  • Prep filling ahead and store chilled until serving time.
  • New England–style buns toast best but any hot dog bun works.
