Lobster Rolls | Recipeish | Gustus Vitae

Lobster rolls! Despite being Irish immigrants who naturally settled on colder, windswept shores and just put those feelings all the way down, well, we're partial to the Connecticut-style over Maine's: serve 'em hot, with only a bit of butter, seasoning, and a few sprigs of parsley. If anything, this is a lobster-first recipe: lobster is delicious, let's not mess with it too much.

  • Yield: Serves 2
  • Time: About 45 minutes 
  • Storage Notes: Best if enjoyed right away
  • Difficulty: Medium

  • Trim the rolls, slicing off the sides, and briefly sear in a hot pan to crisp up.
