An emblematic dish originating in the United States, where it was invented in the 1920s or 1930s in the coastal towns of the New England region, such as Boston, where lobster fishing was an important activity, lobster roll has today become a street-food staple.
Served hot or cold, the lobster roll generally consists of generous chunks of lobster, mixed with mayonnaise sauce and fresh herbs, all served in a buttered and carefully toasted brioche roll. Some chefs also add their own personal touch, modifying the original recipe with chives, lemon, red onion or spices.
Tasty and now popular all over the world, the lobster roll can be enjoyed at the counter of street-food stalls and more chic restaurants, including in Paris. There's no need to cross the Atlantic to get a bite of this hearty, comforting sandwich that's so popular!
