Love that Lobster Roll
April 21st 2008 22:00
The first (and possibly only) time I've ever had a fine dining experience as written up in Gourmet magazine is when I got one of my exes to take me up to Maine on the back of his motorcycle (we lived in Massachusetts at the time, so it wasn't that far) so we could eat at this lobster shack up in Kittery (I think). Can't remember the name of the place, and it was a long way to go for one small sandwich, but it was a very good sandwich. And, as I recall, I didn't have to share as that particular ex didn't care for seafood - one of the twelve billion and six reasons he's been exed for years and years. Ha, more seafood for me and everyone else who does like it.
If you happen to live in Maine, it's probably going to be the season for roadside lobster rolls again pretty soon. If you don't live in Maine or elsewhere in coastal New England, lobster is probably pretty pricey and you're not likely to get it served on a hot dog bun or served by the side of the road. If you'd like to replicate the experience, though, you can always make your own sandwiches and eat them standing in your driveway.
Lobster Roll
1/2 lb. lobster meat
1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1/4 c. mayonnaise
1/2 c. finely diced celery (optional)
1/4 tsp. pepper (white or black)
1/8 tsp. cayenne (optional)
2 hot dog buns - the ones that open on the top are best if you can find them
1 tbsp. melted butter
Mix the lobster meat with the lemon juice, mayonnaise, and pepper (and cayenne, if desired). Stir in celery if you choose to use it. Split the hot dog buns, spread the melted butter on each side, toast them, then pile them with the lobster salad. Serve with potato chips, pickles, and a Sam Adams. Okay, so the beer's from Massachusetts, but it's not that easy to find Maine beers in non-specialty liquor stores outside of New England. Sorry, Maine brewing industry, but I'm sure you guys aren't sucking down a lot of Old Dominion Ale up there, either.
