Description
This is my favorite Lobster Roll Recipe. It is great for Summer, Memorial Day, or Fourth of July.
For the lobster all you have to do is call your grocery stores to see if they have lobster available. If they do have them steam the lobster for you.
I usually call and request the number of lobster I need and let them know I need them steamed and that I will be there at a specific time to pick them up.
Also if you don’t already have a pair lobster scissors get them they will make it easier to get the meat out of the shell. I picked mine up at the grocery store.
I like to serve the lobster rolls with:
Blue Cheese Fritters (recipe is on TTL), green salad, and a bottle of sparkling.

4 cups of lobster meat from steamed lobsters(approximately 2 1 1/2 to 2 pound lobsters)
