Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Fresh lump crab meat
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup (finely diced) Celery
- 1 tablespoon (finely chopped) Chives
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Split-top hot dog buns
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, lemon juice, diced celery, chopped chives, salt, and black pepper. Gently stir with a fork to avoid breaking the crab meat. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to let flavors meld.
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Spread the unsalted butter onto the sides of the split-top hot dog buns.
Toast the buns in the skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp. Remove from heat and set aside.
Line each toasted bun with a lettuce leaf to add a fresh crunch and prevent the bun from becoming soggy.
Spoon the chilled crab mixture generously into each bun, filling them evenly.
Serve immediately with chips, fries, or a fresh salad on the side for a perfect Maine-inspired meal.
