I used frozen cooked lobster meat, so this recipe was extremely quick to throw together. I thawed and warmed up the lobster meat in a skillet with melted butter, added wine, seasoned with old bay seasoning and freshly ground black pepper. I didn't have chives on hand, so chopped green onion was my choice. The rolls were so yummy! Great recipe!

This is not a lobster roll. It is a lobster SALAD roll. There is a big difference between the two. I'm a New Englander, I live on Cape Cod, & I know the difference. A REAL TRUE lobster roll does not contain celery, lettuce, mayo, salt, pepper, etc. It contains whole lobster claws & knuckles, and broken tail meat in a HOAGIE or SWEET ROLL, not a hot dog bun. It is lightly brushed with melted butter & served with a side of drawn butter. That is a real lobster roll. Anything else is a lobster salad roll.

<p>I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! <br /> <br />I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. <br /> <br />I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! <br /> <br />Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. <br /> <br />For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). <br /> <br />The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin</p>
