New England Lobster Rolls

Sweet, briny chunks of fresh-picked lobster folded into a light lemon-mayo dressing and piled into a butter-griddled split-top bun — the classic cold Maine-style roll. Boiling the lobsters briefly and shocking them in ice water keeps the meat tender and snappy instead of rubbery, and chilling the meat before dressing means the mayo clings rather than turning watery. The dressing stays deliberately minimal so the lobster, not the condiments, is what you taste.
