kelolalaut.com - A lobster roll is a popular seafood dish that originated in New England, specifically in Maine. It typically consists of chunks of fresh lobster meat mixed with mayonnaise, lemon juice, celery, and seasonings, served on a grilled hot dog-style bun. The bun is usually brushed with butter and toasted to add flavor and texture to the dish.

Lobster rolls can be served cold or warm, depending on personal preference, and are often accompanied by chips, fries, or a side salad. They are a popular summertime dish and can be found at seafood shacks, restaurants, and food trucks along the New England coast.
