Ingredients:
Directions:
1
Cut and tear the lobster meat into large chunks, closely checking for bits of shell
2
Keep the claws as intact as possible for the best presentation
3
In a large bowl, use a spatula to mix the lobster meat with the mayonnaise, coating evenly
4
The more chilled the mayonnaise, the better it will coat
5
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat
6
Using a pastry brush, liberally brush the melted butter on both sides of the hot dog rolls and place in the skillet
7
Toast each side to a golden brown color, using more butter as needed
8
Fill each roll with about 4 ounces of the lobster mixture
9
Sprinkle the tops with chives
10
Serve with a lemon wedge, which can also be squeezed on top
11
Serve immediately--the goal is to serve when you still have a warm, buttery roll with the cool creamy lobster meat

Enjoyed best with a view of the ocean
