I love lobster! When I’m not eating Grilled Lobster Tails or Lobster Tacos, I’m usually enjoying lobster rolls all summer long! This easy lobster roll recipe starts with fresh steamed lobster, if live lobsters aren’t available near you, frozen tails or fresh lump crab or even shrimp would be great! To keep it light, I mix in a little 0% Greek yogurt with the mayo, you can’t even tell!

What are Lobster Rolls?

A lobster roll is a New England sandwich made of lobster meat served on a hot dog-style bun. Here on long Long Island, you can find them two ways – cold or warm. Cold lobster rolls are made with chilled lobster salad tossed with mayonnaise, celery, etc served on a hot dog bun. Warm lobster rolls are steamed lobster served in hot dog buns drizzled with melted butter. Both are delicious, but cold is more popular.

I live just a few miles from the ocean so I am fortunate to have lots of fresh seafood stores nearby. I usually buy my lobster at Jordon’s lobster farm, where they conveniently steam them for you if you wish.

Lobster Roll Variations

  • Can’t get fresh steamed lobster, use frozen lobster tails.
  • Swap the lobster out for shrimp or crab meat.
  • Skip the bun and serve them in lettuce cups for a low-carb option.
  • Mayonnaise haters can replace the mayo with Greek yogurt.
