Confession, we\u2019ve lived in Maine and don\u2019t often crave a lobster roll. But when we want a taste of the New England coast, it better be damned good. And these are as close as we could get to the famous seafood shack before you leave Wiscasset and head back down Route 1. Cold lobster salad is a must: a toasted brioche bun, split-top because we\u2019re not messing around, and a hit of fresh tarragon, an herb we love to surprise people with, make this lobstah roll as good as they get.<\/p>\n

The failure mode with these is watering down the filling. Lobster tails hold more moisture than you expect, and if you skip drying them well with a paper towel after the ice bath, all of that liquid bleeds into the mayo. You end up with soggy, mushy filling \u2013 and that is a serious no-go for good seafood recipes<\/a>. Pat the lobster meat dry before you chop it. Be aggressive about it. It takes 45 extra seconds, and it\u2019s the difference between a lobster roll worth making and one you apologize for.<\/p>\n

If you can\u2019t be downeast for fresh lobster, this is the next best thing. If you happen to be traveling through the Boston area, check out our friend (and the best lobster roll you\u2019ll get from a food truck) at Lobsta Love<\/a>. <\/p>\n
