Welcome to the Cape! Home to pristine beaches, classic colonial charm and lobster rolls, (or as we say in New England, lobstah’)? You heard right! Cape Cod has some of the best lobster rolls in the world, and they have quickly become a signature of the Bay State coast. So how and where do you find one of these flavorful favorites? Well, we’re here to help!
Before you go, make sure you know the difference between hot and cold!
Hot lobster rolls
Known as Connecticut style, hot lobster rolls feature chunks of warm lobster that are gently finished in clarified butter and served on a hot dog roll with a squeeze of lemon juice.
Cold lobster rolls
What many consider the “authentic New England version,” cold lobster rolls have steamed lobster, cooled and lightly dressed with mayonnaise. The lobster salad is served chilled and piled into a griddled hot dog bun.
