In a bowl, combine the chopped lobster meat, mayonnaise, lemon juice, chives, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the lobster meat evenly with the dressing.

Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Brush the inside surfaces of the hot dog buns with melted butter.

Toast the buns in the skillet or griddle until they are golden brown on both sides.

Line each toasted bun with lettuce leaves (optional). Divide the lobster mixture equally between the buns, filling them generously.

Serve the Maine lobster rolls with potato chips, pickle spears, and pink lemonade.
