Method

Prep the lobster

Rinse the Celery under cold water, dry it well, and finely dice it. Check the Cooked Lobster Meat for any large pieces and coarsely chop it into bite-size chunks so the salad stays pleasantly chunky.

Mix the filling

In a medium bowl, gently fold the lobster and celery with Mayonnaise, Lemon Juice, Sea Salt, and Pepper (Black) until everything is evenly coated. Stop as soon as the mixture looks creamy and cohesive, with plenty of visible lobster pieces.

Toast the buns

Warm a skillet over medium heat. Spread the softened Unsalted Butter over the inside of the New England-Style Split-Top Hot Dog Buns, then toast them cut-side down for 2 minutes until the insides are golden and lightly crisp.

Assemble the rolls

Spoon the lobster filling into the warm buns, dividing it evenly among the 4 rolls. Serve immediately while the buns are crisp and the filling is cool.
