The commensalistic, mutualistic, or parasitic role implies a relationship with another organism, so that other organism might need to be specified. However, it can be said that lobsters primarily fill the predatory role with other sea organisms, since they predate upon shellfish, sea urchins, fish, etc. However, they are also eaten by other organisms, for example fish large enough to dig them out and crack their shells. In addition, humans highly prize them for their meat and harvest them. The predatory/prey relationship is usually referred to as exploitation, in that the predator benefits and the prey is killed. As such, none of the ecological roles commensalism, mutualism, or parasitism apply.
