A lobster roll from “The Lobster Roll” in Amagansett, New York
A lobster roll is a kind of sandwich filled with lobster meat. A traditional lobster roll contains the fresh cooked meat of a lobster, tossed with mayonnaise and served on a grilled hot dog bun or similar roll, served so that the opening is on the top rather than on the side. The filling may also contain diced celery and/or scallion, or may use drawn butter instead of or in addition to mayonnaise. The sandwich can also contain lettuce, lemon juice, salt and black pepper. Traditional New England restaurants serve lobster rolls with potato chips or french fries on the side. As far back as 1970, chopped lobster meat heated in drawn butter was served on a hot dog bun at road side stands in Maine, but have since given way to the chilled lobster “salad” prevalent today everywhere but Connecticut.
Lobster rolls in the U.S. are especially associated with the state of Maine, but are also commonly available at seafood restaurants in the other New England states and on Eastern Long Island in the U.S., where lobster fishing is common. They tend to be virtually unheard-of in landlocked regions (such as the Upper Midwest), where fresh lobster is more expensive and more difficult to obtain.
They are a staple summer meal throughout the Maritime provinces in Canada, particularly Nova Scotia where they may also appear on hamburger buns, baguettes, or other types of bread rolls even pita pockets. The traditional sides are potato chips and dill pickles.
Some McDonald’s restaurants in New England and the Canadian Maritimes offer lobster rolls as a seasonal menu item, called the McLobster Roll.
There is also a variant called the Connecticut Lobster Roll, which is warm lobster, fresh from the shell with drawn butter. According to the book “Connecticut Icons,” the Connecticut roll was introduced in the 1930s at a restaurant in West Haven on Savin Rock called Perry’s, following a request from a traveling salesman who frequented the place. Once Perry’s put the new sandwich on its menu, its popularity spread up and down the Connecticut coast, but not far beyond.
