Ingredients
  

  • 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
  • pinch black pepper

Instructions
 

  • 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.)

Notes

Substitute imitation crab meat instead for a cheaper version of the Maine classic sandwich. Drain off any brine juice before using it.
