The lobster roll– do you prefer Maine or Connecticut style?

That’s right, two styles compete, but both includes heaps of sweet lobster meat piled onto a soft, buttery bun. Wherever you are, the lobster roll is served with hot French fries, and you’ll need a clear ocean view while enjoying one.  Here are the differences:

In Maine the meat is tossed with mayonnaise, tarragon and celery or scallions before it’s piled into a bun. Generally, it’s served on a “New England” or “Frankfurter” roll, which differs slightly from a standard hot dog roll in that the sides are flat and can be buttered on the outside and then lightly toasted or grilled.

In Connecticut hold the mayonnaise and bring on the butter. That’s the attitude of Connecticut-style die-hards, who believe a lobster roll served warm with butter.
