1 ½- 2 lb. cooked meat from a live lobster or defrost frozen lobster meat

1 tablespoon fresh chives, minced

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon lemon zest 

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon pepper

2 tablespoons butter

4 Split top New England style hotdog buns or rolls


Rinse the lobster meat and pick through so there are no shells in the meat.  Drain thoroughly.

Chop lobster meat into chunks and set aside.


In a large mixing bowl, mix celery, mayonnaise, chives, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt and pepper together.  Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Stir in lobster meat and refrigerate for 1 hour.


In a large skillet, melt butter on medium high heat and toast buns on the cut side for 2 minutes or until browned.


Load each bun with equal amounts of lobster salad.
