These lobster rolls include no mayo, just buttery lobster flesh delicately mixed with lemon juice and served on a toasted bread. A New England institution! Try my Lobster Scampi with Cheese Tortellini next time.
How come I haven’t done a recipe post on this before? Lobster rolls are my all-time favorite meal.
Lobster rolls are available across New England, but I like the Connecticut variety (which is ironic, since Im in no way partial to Connecticut itself).
There’s no mayo in this beauty, just a hot butter and lemon dressing. It becomes a traditional New England lunch when served with Cape Cod chips and a Shipyard Summer.
If you’re still hungry, grill up some corn while you’re at it!
You don’t like beer? Then, complement your meal with a glass of white wine.
Take a look at it.
Claw flesh to the brim.
Shining brightly in the sunshine.

What were we talking about, again? That’s correct. Rolls of lobster.
Can we just talk about this absolutely lovely bowl I received from Home Goods while we’re on the subject? THIS IS A LOBSTER. It’s also the ideal size for my lobster roll.
There was no way I was going to miss out on that.
It’s a lobster holding my lobster.
It all started with a lobster.
I’m going to stop talking and get to the point of why you’re here: I’m going to give you the recipe right now. Maybe you’ve come here seeking lobster food porn. I don’t pass judgment.
