Step into the culinary world of Nova Scotia with this exquisite lobster roll recipe narrated by The Kilted Chef, Alain Bosse. Known for its rich maritime culture and fresh seafood, Nova Scotia brings to you the flavors of the ocean in the form of a delicious and decadent lobster roll.

Ingredients

🦞 1 pound fresh lobster meat (preferably from Clearwater Seafoods)
🍞 4 New England-style hot dog rolls, top-split
🍋 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
🥚 1/4 cup mayonnaise (Hellmann's)
🥄 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (President)
🧂 Salt
🥄 1/2 teaspoon celery salt
🌿 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
🧅 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
➕ Cayenne pepper (optional pinch for an extra kick)

Instructions

1- Prep the Lobster:

• If you’re starting with whole lobsters, steam them until the shells turn bright red, about 10 minutes.
• Let it cool, then remove the meat from the tails, claws, and body and chop into bite-sized pieces.

2- Prepare the Dressing:

• In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, celery salt, and a pinch of salt.
• Mix well until smooth, adding a pinch of cayenne pepper for heat, if desired.

3- Mix the Lobster Filling:

• Add the lobsters, chopped celery, and chives into the mayonnaise dressing.
• Toss gently to ensure the lobster is well coated but not overworked.

4- Toast the Rolls:

• Heat a non-stick pan or a flat griddle over medium heat.
• Butter the sides of each roll using the unsalted butter and toast the rolls until golden-brown.

5- Assemble the Rolls:

• Fill each toasted roll generously with the lobster mixture.
• Make sure to pack them fully for that rich, luscious bite.

6- Serve:

• Enjoy the lobster rolls warm or at room temperature for the best experience.
• Complement them with coleslaw or classic French fries for a full meal.
