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
