Lobster rolls are a quintessential summer dish, especially popular in New England, where fresh lobster is abundant. These rolls are simple yet luxurious, highlighting the delicate sweetness of the lobster meat, lightly dressed with mayo, lemon juice, and a touch of seasoning. Served in a buttery, toasted roll, lobster rolls are a perfect blend of rich and refreshing flavors. Whether enjoyed at a seaside shack or made at home, they’re an indulgent treat that’s hard to resist.
