Cuisine American
- 7 oz. imitation crab meat
- 1/3 c. mayo
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 T. scallions
- 1 T. celery leaves
- 1/4 tsp. Old Bay Seasoning
- 1/4 tsp. celery seed
- 1/8 tsp. dry dill weed

Run a knife through the imitation lobster meat to give it a rough dice.
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl.
Optional garnish: celery leaves, celery seeds, and scallions.
Serve cold spooned into center cut, buttered crusted hot dog rolls. (You can also lay a bib lettuce leaf inside the bun prior to spooning the lobster mixture into the roll.)
Substitute imitation crab meat instead for a cheaper version of the Maine classic sandwich. Drain off any brine juice before using it.
