FO O D & D RI N K / LOBSTER ROLLS
Moose watching, visiting lighthouses, fall foliage and the rocky coast are just some of the typical reasons millions of people visit Maine every year. Yet, some say a Maine vacation is never complete with the sampling of Maine lobster and what better way to do that than without the classic “Maine Lobster Roll”. Ask any Mainer, “what is a lobster roll?” and the responses will
vary. The type of roll is often unique, but most agree it should be buttered and grilled to a golden brown. The meat is usually tossed with butter or light mayo and salt and pepper. You can find the most mouth-watering and truly delicious Maine lobster rolls at restaurants, food trucks, diners and clam shacks across the state.
