Good! I didn't want to start the charcoal grill for a few skewers so I pan fried them. Also used a dash of celery salt instead of celery. Very tasty and reminded me of the lobster rolls in Boston!

Ellie these are delicious! I omitted the tarragon as I did not have any and served them on homemade buns. Great recipe, I shall make again! thanks, Kitten:)
