This beloved Northeast treat is simply a butter-toasted roll filled with lobster salad. You could substitute rock shrimp or bay shrimp for the pricey lobster, or use cooked lump Dungeness crab meat for an equally stunning sandwich. Purists demand a top-split roll or hot dog bun, as this helps to hold the salad in, but a brioche or potato roll is also nice. Toasting the buttered rolls is essential.
