Are "lobster rolls" just lobster meat on a bun? What kind of bun? Is it just
dry lobster (no mayo), or a special dressing? Lettuce? Any additions?
Sounds as though it could be pretty dry unless it is done right.
Thanks for any info.

--Whoa! Not just 'lobster meat on a bun".
First you have to have the right kind of bun - down East Maine or N.B.
comes split in the middle -- all the more room to put the lobster in. Mix
the lobster with mayonnaise (I like Hellmans). No lettuce necessary, but if
you like lettuce it's not a big deal- then a little bit of celery and red
onion.
It really depends who you talk to. Some of my friends like it without the
addition of 'filling' e.g. celery/onion.
Personally, I like the addition of celery & onion - I just add more lobster.

Warm lobster rolls are a lobster tail drenched in butter and served on a
round roll that's grilled with butter. A cold lobster roll is more like a
salad, with lobster meat mixed with celery and mayo, served on a New England
hot dog bun.

At most restaurants in Maine a lobster roll is knuckle and claw lobster
meat mixed with a tiny amount of mayo, served on a toasted hot dog roll
and a wee bit of iceburg lettuce.
Some places upgrade the roll and lettuce, but those that try to fancy up
the lobster mixture are none too popular with the locals.

There are more different recipes for lobster rolls then you can shake
a stick at. *But*, sushi they are not. The lobster needs to be cooked.
Some have mayo, some don't. Personal preference I guess.
There are "no rules in a knive fight Butch".  Do 'em how ever you
like 'em but please cook and chill the lobster first.

You're kidding right? Some people actually eat raw lobster?
Some people do. I've never had it but it's a pretty interesting
presentation. The tail is sliced and served as sashimi, the claws and
knuckles made into maki rolls or sushi, the rest is made into a soup and
served last. Not my thang, but that's how I've witnessed it.

It depends on the location and the restuarant.
Lobster rolls can be anything from lobster chunks
with melted butter to lobster salad--with a small
amt. of celery and mayo and sometimes even chopped
olives (not often!) Lettuce is a variable. A bit
of lemon juice is not unheard of. Regardless of
the filling, lobster rolls usually use lightly
toasted hot dog rolls as the bread in N.E.
Heaven on a bun!

Sushi doesn't mean uncooked.

Good point, but that's how I think of it.

Stop, for the lovagawd! Lobster meat on a hotdog bun? Geez, you gotta eat
an awful lot of lobster meat to become so jaded you'd eat cold lobster on a
piece of bread. A Craby Patty, maybe. Lobster? Barbarians!

I've never had a warm lobster roll, but the cold lobster salad rolls
are a New England institution. Believe it or not, McDonalds offers
them as a summer special most years. Trust me, though - they're
nothing like the "real thing".
Best one I ever had was at a seaside place up in Lincoln, Maine.
Are you sure? Lincoln is inland as is only known for it's very smelly
papermill. THere is a place about 10 miles outside of Lincoln that
makes a darned good lobster roll, it's a foot long and about $14, a meal
in itself.

No way is a lobster roll sushi.
Lobster Rolls are popular in Maine and must be on a hot dog
roll that is cut on the top not on the side.

New England Lobster Rolls
4 cups lobster meat
1 tbsp celery -- finely chopped
1/4 cup finely minced onion or green onion
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp lemon juice
dash of hot sauce
butter -- at room temperature
4 hot dog or lobster rolls
Chop lobster into 1/2" pieces, and transfer to a large bowl. Add
celery, onion, mayonnaise, lemon juice, hot sauce and salt and pepper
and combine lightly with the lobster; set aside. Preheat the broiler.
Butter the insides of the rolls and place on a shallow pan, buttered
side up. Broil about 6" from the heat until the rolls are golden and
crispy, about 3 minutes. Fill with the lobster salad and serve immediately. |
