📖 The Story Behind This Dish

The lobster roll is a specialty of New England, centered on Maine in the northeastern US, said to have been born at eateries in port towns where fresh lobster is landed. Plump lobster meat is simply dressed with mayonnaise and tucked into a special split-top hot dog bun with flat sides toasted in butter. Eating one at a seafood shack by the sea in summer is the classic way.
