That Maine-iac has me dreaming of my favorite summertime treat! Use any type of roll you like for this recipe. In the northeast the hotdog rolls are flat on the sides and split on the top. Hotdog rolls and fresh Kaiser rolls are what I usually grill for this sandwich. Enjoy!!

LOBSTER ROLLS

I grew up in Nova Scotia where seafood was cheap. My Mom and grandmothers had some pretty inventive ways of making lobster 'not-boring!' Now, lobster is a treat and costs a fortune. I've paid over ten dollars for one of these lobster rolls in Cape Cod and it wasn't half as good or half as big as the ones my Mom taught me to make. This is a wonderful summer (or winter) treat and makes a fancy luncheon to impress your friends. (And no, I don't eat the green stuff in the lobster!)

LOBSTER ROLL

Lobster rolls are one of my favorite treats and so simple to prepare. You can purchase the lobsters already cooked or you can boil them yourself. If you chose the latter, boil lobsters according to recipe #126937.

  • Add some chopped celery and onion for crunch and flavor.
  • Season the lobster roll with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the lobster roll immediately with your favorite sides.
