Lobster Roll

Lobster Roll Recipe
This Lobster Roll Recipe is inspired by a recent trip to Washington D.C.

This lobster roll recipe pays homage to a delicious sandwich I enjoyed at Luke’s Lobster during a recent trip to Washington, D.C. The key to a good lobster roll is to use just a minimal amount of mayonnaise, because you really want the lobster meat itself to shine.

The Luke’s Trio Roll serves you a crab roll, lobster roll and shrimp roll!

Some lobster roll recipes call for hot dog buns as the base, but my version dresses it up with a Mexican bolillo roll. Lobster rolls are popular in Nova Scotia and New England, especially in Maine, Cape Cod, Boston and New York City.

For a traditional preparation, make your Lobster Rolls with New England style split-top hot dog buns. Sprinkle with a little Old Bay seasoning if desired.
