lobster rolls
Buttered crustacean buns
A lobster roll is a New England sandwich of lobster meat served in a split-top hot dog bun.
The Maine style features cold lobster dressed with mayonnaise; the Connecticut style serves it warm with melted butter.
Either way, the filling is generous and the bun is typically toasted: We stopped at every shack on the coast looking for the perfect lobster roll.
