Lobster Rolls

Posted by: CC Bakes


In my last week in New York I took some much needed and wanted time out to visit the beach, the Hamptons. We ventured to a more discrete, if there could be, location in this ritzy beach location just out of New York City. This was a surf beach called Montauk. One thing the golden coastline of Long Island is abundant with is lobsters, and as Americans so often liked to do, they put this fine specimen in between two pieces of bread to make a lobster roll. Traditionally a mix of lobster meat and shrimp, mixed into a white sloppy mess of mayonnaise and celery, and loaded heavy handedly into a sweet hot dog roll, the average price of these rolls came to around USD$16. We had been told to visit one place in particular called LUNCH, but, so fascinated by this concept of fine water born creatures in bread, we sampled several on our journey and even returned with a lobster in the car, which we cooked up and put in to a roll the next day for brunch with friends. Ours was much less soggy too.

So if you ever feel the need to put lobster between bread, you might like to try it with the following ingredients in this order:

Baguette, mayonnaise, butter lettuce, lobster, radish, fennel, red onion, salt & pepper.

Another delicious taste of what comes every Tuesday from CC Bakes.
