Instructions
- Fill a large bowl with ice and water.

Using tongs, transfer the cooked lobsters to the ice water bath for 2 minutes. Drain the lobsters. Twist off the lobster tails and claws. Remove the meat. Discard the intestinal vein that runs the length of the lobster tail.

- Spread a layer of mayonnaise on both insides of a toasted hot dog roll. Fill with lobster meat.
