Tips and Tricks

Choosing the Lobster

For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality lobster meat. If you can’t find fresh lobster, frozen lobster meat works well too. Just make sure to thaw it completely before using.

Toasting the Buns

For perfectly toasted buns, use a griddle or a large skillet over medium heat. Toast each side until golden brown. This will add a nice crunch to your lobster rolls.

Mixing the Dressing

Make sure to mix the mayo, lime juice, hot pepper sauce, salt, and pepper until they are well combined. This ensures the dressing coats the lobster evenly, enhancing the overall flavor.

Adding Crunch

For extra crunch, consider adding a few more finely chopped celery stalks or even some diced cucumber. This adds more texture to your lobster rolls.

Keeping It Cold

Lobster rolls taste best when they’re served cold. After mixing the lobster with the dressing, refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before assembling the rolls. This helps the flavors meld together nicely.
