Lobster Rolls

A lobster roll
consists of lobster salad spread on
a bun (usually a hot dog bun) that
is then broiled. The bun is quite
important. A commercial hot dog
bun appears to be the ideal casing,
being soft enough to prevent
the filling from squirting out from
the end opposite the bite and
bland enough to allow the delicate
flavor of lobster meat to shine
through.
