Lobster Roll in CT

Burger roll = not a highlight (and you’d think they would make the lobster look a little less pre-formed for the picture).

That's the way they do it and DGAS, I think. I was in CA for work years ago and CA Public TV had long segment about Abbott's. Showed them out on the water catching the lobsters, then showed how they make the sandwich. They stuff the meat into a 4 ounce condiment cup and plop it on the flattop. They pour the melted butter on top, then placed on the roll.

In your travels..., Little Rhody Lobster and Seafood could be worth a stop just off 95N in Hopkinton/Ashaway on Frontier Rd.
. The exit right after the truck stop that's on the state line.

93,
Stopped here. Family place. New. From what I saw at our table, I would say yes. On a grilled brioche roll not hamburger bun. Comes with fries, slaw and pickle spear. $25. Alot but it looks like you get alot.
Plenty outdoor seating. Outdoor lobster cooking hut area where you pick up your lobster meal. Indoor service also. Pick your own lobster to cook if desired. If you have your clubs there is driving range. Lol.

It’s fine. You’re a doofus.

The recipe for a burger-shaped roll and a hot dog-shaped roll is exactly the same. Also, the recipe for a lobster lumped onto a round roll is the same as the recipe for a lobster lumped into a long roll. I believe the butter also uses the same butter recipe.

It is literally the same food.

Go eat the round lobster roll.

I’ve had a few times. Of course it’s fine. But it’s better in a hot dog roll. And Ford’s is better.

Had dinner tonight at Sea Level Oyster Bar at Newburyport and my first experience today with lobster mashed potatoes. Paired with a simply prepared salmon and mixed greens.

Loved it. I’m not a fan of mixing seafood, but I saved the larger chunks of lobster until the salmon was eaten. A match made in heaven.

I have been eating my first lobster rolls this week on my lobster roll tour...first one was at Tommy G's in Sturbridge...my second was at the Saltwater Grille on Portland Harbor (in the running as one of the two finalists for best roll in Maine)...my third was at Barnacle Billy's Perkin's Cove...

Interestingly, Maine places have rolls on their menu listed as "Connecticut style" and "Classic Style"...I prefer the Connecticut style...lobster warmed in butter, not chilled, no aioli, no mayonnaise, no lettuce,

I'll next be trying the lobster roll at the Crown Jewel on Great Diamond Island before moving on to Camden and Bar Harbor.

(as an aside, we were sitting at the bar at Tommy G's next to an inebriated fella who said..."It is "Woost Uh"....except for the Maine folks who say
"Woost Ah"....LOL...like Alabama vs Georgia dialects.)

 

[billybud]

We had Newburg (lobster, scallops, haddock) in a sherry cream sauce in a large croissant like pastry shell at Beall's at the docks in Portland...good...rich...lots of lobster..

I've eaten so much lobster that my pee smells fishy (no offense Fishy).

Simply a better vehicle for a loose meat filling type sandwich.

Do you eat sloppy joes or pulled pork on hot dog buns as well?

 

[billybud]

Do you eat sloppy joes or pulled pork on hot dog buns as well?

No...but what a great idea !

Would hold more slop in the Joe without squeezing out the sides...no more BBQ sauce dripping out of the side onto my hands.

Genuis idea.

Do you eat sloppy joes or pulled pork on hot dog buns as well?

Well there's a reason they're called "sloppy" joes. As for pulled pork, I prefer it with no roll at all.

I think the hot dog bun provides greater support with less bread. Both pluses imo.

OP

Do you eat sloppy joes or pulled pork on hot dog buns as well?

Havent had sloppy joes since I was a kid. I ask for extra white bread at bbq joints, fold them and use them as cradles for the sausages and loose meats.

Pulled pork should go on a bed of crumbled cornbread and/or mac n' cheese. Best eaten out of a bowl.

But the fries look like the spray-on starch kind.

Konnecticut, the Kollasus astride the Kulinary earth. hooking folks up with the right way to eat since the 1500s, or since the 1000s if those viking guys get their props.

The worst abomination that I have seen up north is "Poutine"...french fries covered in cheeses curds slopped over with gravy.

The French...sometimes, maybe rarely, take a culinary left turn....and fries ain't french.

Now, Duck Fat"s, an eatery in Portland serves fries that are fried in duck fat.....now that could be french...or bulgarian. But good.

You have to be an awful human being to not like poutine.

One thing to say you had a bad version of it- gravy out of a can, poorly sliced or cooked spuds, not fresh curds, etc. But to not see the beauty of that delicious concoction is and abomination.

 

[billybud]

Chin...excuse me...but you are a product of your nurture...a southern boy knows that french fries slathered with ketchup is the go to....if you want to pretend...you might have Frites with truffle oil...and then slather them with ketchup.

Cheese curds...gawd...From the same folks who think that hominy is grits...

 

[billybud]

And who think that rhubarb is edible and that cabbage makes a super casserole.

 

[billybud]

And that french fries should be soggy, gravy soaked, and eaten with curds....

We threw the curds and whey to the hogs on the dairy farm.

I will say that you and the hogs love that stuff...and I loved the hogs to like it..pork is God's gift to man.
