Lobster Avocado Club Sandwich With Lemon Mayonnaise

Recipe courtesy of Chef Sophiane Benaouda, Grand Café, San Francisco, CA. Lobster Salad Yields: 5 Cups - tastes aweomse! The mayonnaise is great for dipping seafood .Make it first, since it needs to be refrigerated for about an hour or more. :) I had a problem with the computer - it is meant to be read cooked lobster roe - sorry - so it reads 1 T lobster roe (cooked), did the best I could. ;)
