Step-by-Step Instructions for Crab Roll
  1. Begin by draining the cooked fresh lump crab meat thoroughly, patting it dry with paper towels if necessary, then place it in a large mixing bowl.
  2. In the bowl with the crab meat, gently mix in the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Add the finely chopped celery, chopped chives, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  3. Take your brioche hot dog rolls and gently open them up, creating a soft pocket for the crab mixture. Spoon the prepared crab filling liberally into each roll.
  4. Serve the assembled crab rolls immediately for the best texture and freshness. Enjoy the soft and buttery brioche rolls filled with the creamy crab salad.
