Homemade Lobster rolls
 

I have seen the threads on the best lobster rolls restaurants but I am looking for any homemade suggestions. We are throwing a New Years party and I put lobster rolls on the menu. I tried substituting avocado oil for mayo and also using some wasabi but was curious if anyone had some good recipes.

Hot or cold? Traditional/purist or adventurist?

Need to do in advance so will probably go cold and stick to the more traditional.

Legal Sea Foods is astonishingly overrated. Neptune Oyster is head and shoulders above it in pretty much every dimension, especially when it comes to lobster rolls.

I loved Neptune Oyster in Boston. Hands down the best lobster roll I've had. I just hate waiting in line over there.

Over the summer I was working around a five-minute walk away from Neptune. People at my office would leave around 11 to make sure they could get in when the doors opened at 11:30- totally worth every second of the wait!

That would be dangerous for my pocket book. I'd probably go everyday.

My all time favorite is Cabby Shack in Plymouth, MA. It's a hike from Boston, but the Big Shack roll is ridiculously large and absolutely delicious. Take it or leave it on the rest of the menu though, so it really is a trip just for a gigantic lobster roll.

Thanks for the advice. Will be in BOS area later this spring. Will queue at Neptune Oyster for shure
:)

We have a superb place for lobster rolls in Encinitas, CA, of all places. It's called Lobster West. It's as good as any lobster roll we've had in Maine and New Hampshire, and we've had plenty there.

I have a feeling I will be passing this place en route home from Disney in a couple of weeks. How much would you expect to spend feeding 4 adults and a kid?

A lobster roll, bag of potato chips, and small container of cole slaw costs roughly $16 (from memory). You can buy the lobster roll hot or cold, depending on the style you prefer. You can also buy ala carte. The price then drops a couple dollars. I insist that my husband and I each buy our own. It's too good and not big enough to share in my opinion. You can see a picture of the roll on their facebook page.

The restaurant is in the Lumberyard in Encinitas on Hwy 101. It's a tiny place, and has both inside and outside seating.

Anyone ever in london must go to http://www.burgerandlobster.com fantastic. Choice between a whole lobster ( steamed or grilled with garlic/lemon butter), lobster roll, or a burger. All come with fries and a side salad, and all priced at £20. All 3 items are superb. http://londoneater.com/2011/12/23/bu...ter-cocktails/


While in LAS I tried Lobster Me, ended up with my first ever cold lobster roll which I thought was pretty nasty! It's only now reading their site that I see they warm it on request. I might have to go back and try the Cajun lobster roll now I know that....

For me, warm is just so much more luxurious
