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!)

DOWNEAST LOBSTER ROLL
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!!

CONNECTICUT LOBSTER ROLLS
Summer is when lobster is most abundant and least expensive, so I wanted to create a dish that utilized this elegant ingredient without messing around with it too much. The beauty of this lobster roll is that it lets the taste of fresh summer lobster meat shine. Too often, lobster rolls are made with overcooked lobster meat that's been drowned in mayo. Here, the lobster meat is par-cooked, then finished in melted butter, so it's perfectly done. Just a kiss of mayo with mustard won't overpower the purity and succulence of the lobster.

Steps:
- Fill a large pot halfway with water. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Add a generous amount of kosher salt to make the water taste salty. Add the lobsters and boil, covered, for 6 minutes. Remove the lobsters and let cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.
- In a small saucepan, heat the butter on low heat. Add the seafood seasoning, lemon zest and 1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Keep the butter on low while removing the lobster meat from the shells.
- Meanwhile, make the spicy mustard mayonnaise. In a small bowl, combine the mustard powder and 1 tablespoon water until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayo, Dijon, lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Whisk in the mustard powder mixture and the dill. Set aside.
- Twist off the tails and claws of each lobster, reserving the body for another use, such as stock. Remove the lobster meat from the tails and claws and roughly chop into large pieces. Place the meat in the melted butter and poach until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes.
- To prepare the buns, lightly butter each side of the buns. Place on a frying pan or griddle on medium heat to toast. Remove and fill each bun with the butter-poached lobster and drizzle with the spicy mustard mayo. Sprinkle with chives.

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.

MAINE COAST LOBSTER ROLLS
Here is the simplest of recipes, brought to The Times in 2001 by Jason Epstein in the low, dispiriting weeks that followed the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. He was inspired, he wrote, by the food writer M.F.K. Fisher's account of a disastrous love affair, and quoted her in his article about cooking for friends at that time: "We returned to the life that had been so real, like fog or smoke, caught in the current of air. We were two ghosts [but] very live ghosts, and drank and ate and saw and felt and made love better than ever before, with an intensity that seemed to detach us utterly from life." Thus, of course, lobster rolls.

Steps:
- Cut the lobster into 1/2-inch pieces and place in a bowl. Chop the celery into medium-fine pieces and stir into lobster. Stir in just enough mayonnaise to coat the lobster mixture.
- As is traditional in Maine lobster shacks, fry the rolls in a skillet or on a griddle in butter. Otherwise, toast them on both sides under a broiler. Add the lobster salad and sprinkle with paprika and a few capers.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality lobster. The fresher the lobster, the better your lobster roll will be. If you can, buy live lobster and cook it yourself. Otherwise, look for lobster that is cooked and picked, but not frozen.
- Don't overcook the lobster. Lobster is a delicate meat, and it can easily become tough if it is overcooked. Cook the lobster just until it is opaque and cooked through.
- Use a good-quality mayonnaise. The mayonnaise is a key ingredient in a lobster roll, so it's important to use a good-quality brand. Look for a mayonnaise that is made with real eggs and oil, and that has a smooth, creamy texture.
- Add some extras to your lobster roll. In addition to lobster and mayonnaise, you can add other ingredients to your lobster roll, such as celery, onion, tarragon, and lemon juice. These ingredients will add flavor and texture to your roll.
- Serve your lobster roll on a toasted bun. A toasted bun will help to hold the lobster roll together and will add a nice flavor. You can toast the buns in a toaster, in the oven, or on a grill.
Conclusion:
The lobster roll is a delicious and classic New England sandwich. It is made with fresh, cooked lobster, mayonnaise, and other ingredients, and it is served on a toasted bun. Lobster rolls can be found at restaurants and seafood shacks all over New England, but they are also easy to make at home. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a lobster roll that is just as good as anything you would find at a restaurant.
