You’re a seafood lover, you’re hungry, and it’s a beautiful summer day. What comes to mind other than a lobster roll? The tender, sweet chunks of lobster meat lightly coated with mayonnaise on a buttered roll is mouth-watering just thinking about it!
A good lobster roll starts with a good lobster. The lobster should be active and moving around, as this is the sign of a good lobster. Size matters as larger lobsters, while a bit tougher, are meatier and of course more flavorful. Is it a boy or a girl? The pleopod, which is the first set of tails under a lobster’s body, is the easiest way to tell as a male lobster has a harder pleopod than a female. Is the shell soft or hard? Hard shells are meatier but soft shells are known to be a little tastier.
Now that you know what a great lobster is and what goes into making a great lobster roll, there is a place you can go to find lobster roll perfection. If you’re on Long Island (yes, Long Island, not New England) come down to La Bottega in Farmingdale and see just what a Long Island lobster roll is all about! It’s only on the menu for a limited time so it is a must if you haven’t had the chance to try one. Get on down to La Bottega in Farmingdale and satisfy that summer day appetite!
