On our recent visit to the Central Square Farmers' Market, we were happy to meet Chris Manning of C & C Lobsters and Fish. Chris is a lobsterman from Hull who is bringing fresh seafood to Cambridge each Monday!
We had just stuffed ourselves with dosas from the nearby Dosa Factory so something light and fresh, like a lobster roll, for dinner seemed a great idea. Chris showed us his containers of fresh lobster. He catches them and his wife Carolyn picks the meat, deveins the tails, and makes it easy to make your favorite dish with their fresh lobster meat.
While hot dog rolls are traditional, we stopped by the Hi-Rise Bread Company table and grabbed some of their hamburger rolls. They offered lots of surface for piling on the lobster.
The lobster included big pieces of claw and tail, so step one was cutting those into bite size bits.
Notice that we are not mixing anything into our lobster rolls. We lightly toasted the buns, spread the tiniest bit of melted butter on the bottom half, and then piled on the lobster meat.
With the lobster ready to fall off the sides, Penny dripped a bit of melted butter onto the meat …
… just enough to give it a golden glow. And, as you can see in the top photo, we each had a wedge of lemon and small dish of melted butter to adjust our lobster roll to our own taste.
Thanks, Chris and Carolyn! You did most of the work and we had two heaping lobster rolls plus leftovers.
