That looks like a legit lobster roll. Buttered side-split roll, not much mayo, and knuckle and claw meat (which gets a bum rap, but is tastier than tail meat). I approve.

Legit lobster salad roll*

That looks about as un-lobaster-salad-y as any lobster roll I've ever seen. It actually looks like it might just be lobster and butter. Where do you get the salad aspect from?

You mentioned mayo, and where I'm from, mayo on a lobster roll makes it a lobster salad roll, regardless of how "un-lobster-salad-y" it looks. A lobster roll, on the other hand, is served hot with butter. And from what I can tell looking up the restaurant, they do serve theirs with mayo. It's more a shot at the mayo-based version of the sandwich than anything else, as I was never a fan.

Ah. Are you from Connecticut? I like both forms of lobster roll though for some reason I can't digest lobster. More than a bite and it sits in my gut like a rock. :(

Silverlake, yes? How much? Worth it?

  • si

  • Main lobster roll (full) $18

  • Mini Maine Shrimp $5

Worth it? It's pricey, but they give you enough lobster/shrimp that it justifies the price, I think.

Bruh... I'm pretty sure the roll on the right is crab, not shrimp.
