Lobster Rolls

(freshly steamed at the store and ready to eat)

(my Dad enjoying some lobster when visiting us over the summer)

Since we moved to New England, my husband and I have been eating a lot more lobster than when used to when we lived in the Midwest.  Two years ago on Father's Day weekend, we were able to buy lobsters for $2.99 per pound!!! Can you believe that!  Instead of spending $2.99 on ground beef or turkey, I was able to get fancy lobster and they steam them for you! Which is a huge bonus point because I would have a hard time putting the live lobster into boiling water.  Poor baby lobster...but they taste sooo good. If you are as fortunate as us to get lobster at a very cheap price, stock up.  They freeze great and all you have to do is defrost in the refrigerator and place on the grill to reheat. Yummy!

(right off the grill, poor little antennas got burned off)

Anyways, lobster (or lobsta, as some folks pronounce it here) rolls are very popular around here especially at local restaurants and festivals since it comes in fresh from the ocean.  This recipe is full of lobster flavor and focuses more on lobster than a thick sauce and fillers.  

Yield:  2 servings

1 (1 1/4 - 1 1/2 pound) chick lobster, meat cooked, cooled, and cubed

1/4 cup light mayo

1/2 stalk diced celery

1/4 tsp onion powder

salt and pepper

dill

1/2 tsp lemon juice

lobster sandwich rolls (or hot dog buns)

Combine lobster meat, mayo, celery, and lemon juice in bowl.  Add onion powder, salt, pepper, and dill to taste. 

Serve on top split lobster rolls (or regular hot dog buns) buttered and toasted. Add a little lettuce if you prefer.
