Notes
Start with less mayonnaise than you think you need - you can always add more, but you can't take it away
For best results, use lobster that's been cooked and cooled completely before removing the meat
Top-split hot dog buns are traditional for lobster rolls and provide better presentation
Chill the lobster meat for 30 minutes before mixing for a revitalizing cold roll
Substitute Greek yogurt for half the mayonnaise for a lighter version
Toast the buns lightly with butter for added flavor and texture
