I had to laugh as I read the reviews. Marie. Leon. Foodie said skip the buns mayo and butter.. ha ha, those were among the only things that were authentic about this recipe. A World famous Maine Lobster roll is a grilled in buttered New England style hot dog roll, amazingly fresh lobster meat, MAYBE a spoon full of finely chopped celery and Hellman's mayonnaise (you might get away with making your own, and that ladies and gentlemen is a Maine Lobster roll, no cayenne pepper, no fillers like cucumber or lettuce. The Connecticut Lobster roll is the same buttered roll, with lobster meat warmed in drawn butter, nothing else. You can serve this with chips or fries, or potato salad and slaw, and finnish your meal with a peice of blueberry pie or whoopee pie and if you're livin' the high life get yourself an Ice coffee or a frappe. PS (I made this recipe and Jasper White is a genus behind the stove, but this is one classic that needs to be left alone.

This was gross and full of fat and bad carbs. Skip the cheap buns, mayo, and butter. There are way healthier and better tasting options out there. this was one I found chefmorgan (dot com/lobster-roll-california-style and there are a lot more.

Why The Face...because this isn't a Maine Lobster Roll...it's a kicked up spin on what Jasper thinks the actual world famous Maine lobster roll is. On a scale of 1-5, 5 being the dead on true winner, this falls just short of a 2....cucumbers & tarragon, oh please! Call it what it is, a veggie roll that's been stuffed with lobster from somewhere.

Well,I was born In Boston,MA and haved lived in New England for all but six and a half years of my sixty years of life. Many lobster rolls have I eaten,both homemade and out to eat. Never have I had one that resembles this recipe.

People from other parts of the country who think this is a true New England lobster roll will be misguided. A real New England lobster roll,the kind I've had all my life,consists of a flat sided, flat topped, fairly thin sided,non-sweet New England style roll,buttered well and pan toasted,cold lobster bites mixed with mayo,salted lightly perhaps and really,nothing else.

It's the combination of the taste and texture of the toasted buttered roll with the creamy sweet goodness of the fresh lobster mixed with mayo that makes a true masterpiece of the New England lobster roll.

I think the name of this recipe is deceiving. This is not how a World-Famous Maine Lobster Roll is traditionally made. I was born and brought up in Maine. Everyone in Maine knows that a real Maine Lobster roll is Lobster meat mixed with a little mayo. Putting cucumber, tarragon, etc. in it is fine if that is what you like, but it not the traditional way to make a Maine Lobster roll. It is covering up the sweet succulent flavor of the Lobster meat. I think most would agree that a real Maine traditional style Lobster roll is made using the New England traditional style hot dog roll with maybe a little lettuce on the bottom with fresh chunks of lobster meat mixed with a little mayo. It may be a good recipe, but not what I think most Maine people would consider to be the World Famous Maine Lobster roll.

Tried this recipe last week and really loved it. It may not be as authentic as some reviewers would like, but my husband and I found the recipe to be wonderful. We enjoyed the tarragon and the cucumber. I can understand why less is more for folks so close to lobster territory, but for those of us who aren't so lucky, a little more flourish in the recipe helps make average lobster meat great.

The lobster roll is one of my all time favorite meals. When I travel to the East coast, I have lobster rolls and clam chowder for every meal. I can't get enough. Living in Texas, this is not something you can find easily. This recipe,which has the cucumber, is the one I always use. I order my lobsters over the Internet and use this recipe to impress my redneck friends who have never experienced this ultimate culinary experience. I have tried several variations, but this one is the keeper. I usually cheat a little and order clam chowder from my local Red Lobster restaurant and serve my favorite meal to family and friends. Try it. I think you'll agree with me.
