Steps:
- Cut the lobster meat in large (3/4-inch) dice. Heat 3 tablespoons of the butter in a medium (10-inch) saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the lobster, celery, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 to 3 minutes, until just heated through. Off the heat, sprinkle the lobster with the dill, parsley, and half of the lemon juice. Stir well.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a large (12-inch) saute pan, until the butter sizzles. Place the rolls in the pan on their sides (you are toasting the outsides, not the insides) and cook over medium-high heat for 2 minutes on each side, until nicely browned.
- Place the rolls, cut side up, on a platter. Divide the lobster mixture among the 6 rolls and sprinkle with extra dill, salt, and the remaining lemon juice. Serve hot while the rolls are crisp on the outside and the lobster filling is hot.

WARM LOBSTER DIP (OR CRABMEAT, OR SEA LEGS, OR BABY SHRIMP)
This is a pretty tasty recipe for warm lobster dip. Again, as in title, you could substitute with crabmeat, sea legs, or tiny baby shrimp if you like. I happen to mostly use my "leftover" lobster tail or claw meat when I make this. I have a great 1 qt. chafing server with a tea light beneath it that I usually prepare this in. Serve with pita chips, crackers, baguette slices, or vegetables. You can make this thicker or thinner depending on the amount of half & half and sour cream you use - prepare as you like.

Tips:
- Use fresh lobster meat. This will give your dip the best flavor and texture.
- Don't overcook the lobster meat. It should be cooked just until it is opaque and tender.
- Use a good quality cheese. A sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese will give your dip a rich, flavorful taste.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. You can add herbs, spices, or vegetables to your dip to create a unique flavor profile.
- Serve your dip warm. This will ensure that the cheese is melted and gooey.
Conclusion:
Warm Maine lobster dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to enjoy the fresh seafood that Maine has to offer. Serve it with crackers, bread, or vegetables for a delicious snack or meal.
