Classic Connecticut Lobster Roll with Warm Butter
The Connecticut Lobster Roll features lobster meat served warm in melted butter and served on a sliced hot dog bun. Unlike other variations, such as the Maine Lobster Roll, this one relies on fewer ingredients and the touch of butter instead of mayonnaise. The Connecticut Lobster Roll is served warm.
