Fill a very large pot with water and add 1/4 cup of sea salt.

Bring the water to a boil.

Cut the rubber bands off the claws of the lobsters and quickly place them head first into the boiling water.

Cover the pot and set a timer for 8 minutes.

After 8 minutes, remove the lobsters from the pot using tongs and an oven mitt, and let them cool until they are cold enough to handle.

Prepare two types of mayonnaise: one with just mayo, salt, and pepper for the husband's roll, and another with mayo, salt, pepper, a little dillweed, and the juice of half a small lemon for the creator's roll.

Crack open the lobsters using a lobster cracker and small forks, separating the meat from the shell.

Chop the lobster meat into small chunks and divide it into two bowls.

Mix the lobster meat with the prepared mayonnaise according to preference.

Cut the homemade chabata buns in half and spread garlic butter on them.

Heat a frying pan and toast the buns until crispy and the garlic butter is melted.

Place the lobster mixture onto the toasted buns, adding chopped lettuce to the husband's roll if desired.
