Lobster rolls are a summer staple, and adding crab meat can elevate their flavor and texture. Both seafoods complement each other, with lobster's buttery richness balancing crab's juiciness. Unsurprisingly, swapping in crab meat is a more budget-friendly option, especially given the higher price of lobster. Seasoning the cooking water with salt maximizes their flavor. Experimenting with a blend of one-third crab and two-thirds lobster can create a delightful combination of meaty and flaky textures, enhancing traditional lobster rolls.
