- 11.5 lbs cooked lobster meat (from about 4 1.25-lb lobsters), roughly chopped
- 23 tablespoons good-quality mayonnaise
- 31 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 42 stalks celery, finely diced
- 52 tablespoons fresh chives, finely snipped
- 6Salt and white pepper
- 74 New England-style split-top hot dog buns
- 84 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 9Lettuce leaves (optional)
Instructions
- 1
In a bowl, gently combine lobster meat, mayonnaise, lemon juice, celery, and chives. Season lightly with salt and white pepper — the lobster is delicate and the mayo should dress it, not drown it. Refrigerate while you toast the buns.
- 2
Spread butter on all flat cut surfaces of the split-top buns. Toast in a skillet over medium heat, flat side down, for 2–3 minutes until deeply golden and crispy. Hot dog buns don't toast on all sides — only the buttered flat faces are toasted, leaving the soft exterior intact.

Line the inside of each bun with a lettuce leaf if desired. Pile the lobster salad generously into the buns — don't be shy. Serve immediately with potato chips and a pickle.
