BEST MAINE LOBSTER ROLL RECIPE (AUTHENTIC)

Steps:

• For the Lobster Salad: Drain the cooked lobster meat in a colander for 5 minutes. Set out a large mixing bowl. Then chop the fresh herbs.
• If using claw meat, there is no need to chop it, but you can if you want smaller pieces. (If using lobster tails, chop it into bite-size pieces.) Move the lobster meat to the mixing bowl and add the mayonnaise, dill, parsley, salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Mix well.
• Cover and chill under ready to serve.
• For the Toasted Rolls: Spread both flat sides of the New England rolls with a generous amount of butter.
• Heat a large skillet (or griddle) to medium heat. Place the rolls flat-side-down in the skillet. Toast for 1-3 minutes until golden-brown. Then flip and toast the other side for 1-3 minutes. Remove and repeat as needed.
• Once all of the rolls are perfectly toasted, load them with lobster salad and serve!

THE WORLD-FAMOUS MAINE LOBSTER ROLL

Steps:

• Prepare the lobster salad.
• If using live lobsters, steam or boil them. Let cool at room temperature. Use a cleaver to crack and remove the meat from the claws, knuckles and tails. Remove the cartilage from the claws and the intestines from the tails of the cooked meat. Cut the meat into 1/2-inch dice. You may pick all the meat from the carcass and add it to the meat or freeze the carcass for soup or broth.
• Place the cucumber in a colander for at least 5 minutes to drain the excess liquid. Combine the lobster, cucumber mayonnaise, and tarragon. Add the scallions. Season with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Preheat a large heavy skillet (12 to 14-inches) over medium-low heat (a black cast-iron pan is perfect). Lightly butter both sides of each bun. Place them in the pan and cook for about 2 minutes until golden brown. Turn the buns over and toast the other side. Or toast the buns under a broiler instead. When the buns are ready, stuff them with the chilled lobster salad. Place each roll on a small paper or china plate; garnish with pickles and potato chips. Serve at once.

MAINE LOBSTER ROLLS RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Cut the lobster meat into 1/2-inch to 1-inch chunks and add the pieces to a medium bowl. Add the mayonnaise, celery (if using), and lemon juice. Mix gently until the lobster mixture is well blended. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Liberally butter both sides of the hot dog buns.
• Toast the buns on a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Flip to brown both sides, about 2 to 3 minutes each side.
• Line the buns with lettuce leaves, if using, and fill with the lobster meat. Garnish with chopped chives, if desired.

MAINE LOBSTER ROLL

Steps:

• Boil the lobster for about 16-18 minutes.
• Pick apart and cut up in good-sized pieces.
• Put the mayonnaise on and mix.
• I usually put a little butter on the sides of the roll and place it on the griddle for a couple of minutes to brown it.
• Fill it and enjoy.
• NOTE: I figure one lobster per roll which would be about 3-5 ounces of meat; this should make a stuffed lobster roll.

MAINE-STYLE LOBSTER ROLL

Steps:

• Cut and tear the lobster meat into large chunks, closely checking for bits of shell. Keep the claws as intact as possible for the best presentation.
• In a large bowl, use a spatula to mix the lobster meat with the mayonnaise, coating evenly. The more chilled the mayonnaise, the better it will coat.
• Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Using a pastry brush, liberally brush the melted butter on both sides of the hot dog rolls and place in the skillet. Toast each side to a golden brown color, using more butter as needed.
• Fill each roll with about 4 ounces of the lobster mixture. Sprinkle the tops with chives. Serve with a lemon wedge, which can also be squeezed on top.
• 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.
