Hold the mayo—and the celery. For lobster lovers, a buttered lobster roll doesn’t need ’em.

2:45 I'm a bit of a tail and thorax kind of guy as well 😉
Whatever happened to taking out the lobster sh*t sack? So I take it you like eating lobster crap?!
So, dude…..shall i say dudette! Not being a native here, ive called Mai e my home foe the last 14 years. Ive actually never had a lobster roll, and only had maybe 8 lobsters total. Originally from jersey…and love shri.p, scallops, especially crabs, clams…..i do know lobster is done a few ways. With that said……do i want hot lobster with butter cold with butter. Im not big on mayonnaise, but i know some places wikl lightly spread some on if you want . Another 2 questions would be… hard shell, soft shell..and steamed or boiled. Any advice from your guest from new england would be appreciated.a few typos in here, my oppologies, i think you can figure out what im asking
And for some extra flavor, make sure to leave the rubber bands on the claws, like they did.
Looks sloppy to eat but I am dying to eat one! Too bad it’s sooo expensive where I live. 🙁
This looks so yummmmy! 😋
Must confess way down here in Alabama, I've never tried a lobster roll or clam chowder. But they Looked Awesome!!!! Thank you for All yals hard work!!!
looking so tasty！
HUNGRY NOW! MUST MAKE THIS!
Hello every one
That monster boiled those pooor babies alive
I have no idea when this was made, but I live in western Massachusetts and lobster is NOT affordable any longer. At over $12/pound for micro lobsters (smaller than the 1 – 1.25 pound "chix") I can't afford them. When I was a kid we used to get lobsters (chix) for $3.99/pound local and if you went to the coast you could get them for $2.99/pound at the stores. If you went straight to the lobster pound you could get them for $2.49/pound and the culls (single clawed) for $1.99/pound.
I know things are more expensive now, but lobster is presently out of my price range. Last time I went to Maine (~10 years ago) it was $10/ lobster roll ready made at the stand closest to our hotel and at the pound they were $10.99/pound for 2 pounders. Now it costs me ~$20 at our local store just to buy 2 micro lobsters for me to make one roll. Our local seafood restaurant no longer offers whole live lobster due to the price. They do offer lazy-mans lobster for around $40 but that is frozen meat.
What is the perfect alternative for those who don't like mayonnaise in any form or any dairy due to allergies- butter alternative.
Good video, I can't afford lobster. Thanks
Very popular in New Jersey 🦞.
These look delectable!!
They said the lobsters were sleeping 🥺
Let me guess. Bread,lobster,butter and an oven or stove?
TO THINK 3 LOBS FOR 4 ROLLS IS WILD.
MAYBE MAKE IT GO FURTHER WITH OTHER SEAFOODS/MARINARA IR EVEN IMITATION CRAB ?
HOT LOB ROLLS FOR ME
We need a popsicle mold review! It summer time now and am frustrated not finding the right one help
Wow, so easy. Looks great.
Can we talk about the science behind the sound of the ocean and/or the smell of salt air being present in order for lobster to taste like lobster. I've had lobster rolls here in Chicago and they don't taste like anything
That looks so good 🤤
I wish they'd use spinny lobster! Such delicious meat!! Yum!
Now tell us how to afford lobster!
Yuk with any mayo, this is the way to eat them. I would have put a little minced garlic in with the butter! But what do I know, I'm from SoCal
No shears needed to remove the tail. Remove the tail fins then push the flesh out the other end
Woah ATK, calm down with the chives!
