Bruce, I tried lobster roll while in Maine over the past Christmas season. I was really anticipating something good...boy, was I disappointed. It was a highly respected joint south of Rockland, cant remember the name of it. Apparently, there are two very distinct styles of lobster roll...one is served cold with a mayonnaise based cream sauce and the other is served warm with traditional butter (popular farther down the coast).
Needless to say, I choked the cold version down, not wanting to waste any of the $50 sandwich. If I try lobster roll again, it will be served warm with melted butter...hopefully it will be better

...

The sandwiches look great to me. How much were they? Around here they are obscenely expensive. I would guess Maine prices are much better. The quality and freshness is probably better in Maine too.

I've been in a few of those little country stores, that have a restaurant and always had good food at them. I used to get some really good breaded and fried, pork tenderloin sandwiches at one.

Speaking of food disappoinments; when I was buying fur in the midwest in the late 70's everyone was raving about "pork tenderloin". I decided I had to try it. I was at a little country resturant in Iowa and ordered one; biggest food disappointnent of my life. Bland, greasy piece of breaded, tastless something or other.

I like to get country ham sandwiches at those little country stores in Kentucky.

What goes into a lobster roll besides lobster? From the photo it looks like chicken salad on a hard roll. The only lobster I've ever had was boiled or baked and then dipped in butter. I loved it.

My Ol man...use to get lobsters off the boat in Boston ...and they

We're packed in a box with ice and see weed..

Best Lobstahs EVAH..

You could taste the Sea in every bite.,.nice and salty.

Those ones in the tank ...in the stores get washed out of taste

Last time I was up around Bar Harbor and Acadia NP, lunch at a lobster shack in Bass Harbor was $15. I guess it has been a while. Lol

Richibucto,New Brunswick Canada is where I have bought lobsters right off the boats.They have a lobster eating contest there as well.Don't know if I still hold the record but I ate 14 lobsters 1 1/2 pound to 2 pound at one setting for the record back years ago.
