Tips:
- Use fresh lobster meat. The fresher the lobster meat, the better your lobster rolls will taste. If you can't find fresh lobster meat, you can use frozen lobster meat that has been thawed in the refrigerator overnight.
- Cook the lobster meat properly. Lobster meat should be cooked just until it is opaque and firm. Overcooked lobster meat will be tough and chewy.
- Use a light and fluffy bread roll. The bread roll should be able to hold the lobster meat without getting soggy. A good option is a split-top hot dog roll.
- Don't overstuff the bread rolls. You want to be able to taste the lobster meat, not just the bread.
- Add your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings for lobster rolls include melted butter, lemon juice, mayonnaise, chives, and celery.
