We're not exactly sure what it is, it could be the salinity and the temperature of the northern Atlantic Ocean, but somehow that area of the globe just produces some of the most delectable lobsters in the entire world. The quality of the lobsters in the Northeast region of the United States is exactly why Maine is the master at curating the perfect lobster roll.
What makes the Maine lobster roll is the simplistic nature of the seafood sandwich. The perfectly cooked and chilled lobster tossed in light mayo for binding purposes, drizzled with a sparing amount of sea salt, cayenne pepper, chives, and lemon juice and placed in a griddled buttery New England-style hot dog bun accentuates the taste of the lobster without any other elements becoming too overpowering. When it comes to lobster rolls always remember the lobster meat is the star of the show and never trust a lobster roll with lettuce added into the mix.
