Lobster Roll

Apparently, this is a thing: Lobster Roll.

Had one in Quincy Market, sure, expensive, but I looked, and sounded like a tourist. Then had one in a basement in the Back Bay. Certainly ball game food.

Better, though, was the Lobstah on a roll. Went back for more. In part, it was the roll itself, reminds me of a place on the (Texas) coast used to fresh-bake Hawaiian (style) rolls for the hamburger buns. Just the right amount of sweet to add some flavor. Likewise, Lobstah-on-a-roll claims to bake their own rolls. Good start.

Better, though, was the amount of lobster, and how it was fresh, fresh caught, fresh boiled, fresh lathered in butter and plopped on a roll.

Good food.

Last time I wrestled with shellfish? I was just off the boat in Port Aransas, Texas Gulf Coast, and with a cooler full of fresh fish, I joined my buddies at one of the Boiling Pot places, fresh sea food, crawdads, and so forth, boiled up Cajun-style, and dumped out on the butcher paper table top. Beers and buckets of iced tea, and then, cracking open crab. Same delicate flavor, that lobster roll, same delicate, fresh-caught flavor. Lot more effort, shelling the crab legs.

With the Lobster Rolls? No need to wrestle the shellfish out of the shell; the hard work is already done.

Seems like every presentation is different.
