Units
Scale
- 1 lb cooked lobster meat (claw, knuckle, tail), chopped
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped celery
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives or parsley
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 top-split hot dog buns or brioche rolls
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, gently combine chopped lobster meat, mayonnaise, lemon juice, celery, and herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Chill for 15–30 minutes if desired.

Notes
- Use fresh lobster for the best flavor, or high-quality frozen meat if unavailable.
- Brioche buns add a slightly sweeter contrast to the savory filling.
- Chill the filling for a refreshing contrast against the warm, toasted bun.
