I may not have grown up in the Northeast, aka the land of the lobster rolls, but thanks to an annual trip to the Florida Keys I got my fill of them at least once every summer. Sweet, tender lobster over crisp lettuce on a butter-toasted hot dog bun—it's the perfect hot-weather bite, especially after a sun-soaked day of fishing or riding bikes along the coast line.
A lot has changed since those family trips to the Southernmost Point, including that I now do in fact live in the Northeast (specifically, New York City). As such, my access to top-notch lobster rolls has widened significantly. I've since learned that there are not only two categories of lobster roll—one hailing from Maine, the other from Connecticut (more on that in a second)—but also a few very righteous, very delicious variations.
Fun fact about me: I was obsessed with Red Lobster growing up. In fact, I spent at least three of my preteen birthdays there, scarfing down a basket of Cheddar Bay Biscuits and my very own one-pound lobster with unbridled glee.

Why? Lobster is the crown jewel of the ocean—and even though I was young when I had my first taste, I quickly realized that I was eating the good stuff. Lobster meat is sweet, tender, and has that light, ocean-fresh flavor. While the price tag might be a bit steep, it certainly makes any dinner (especially birthdays) feel like a special occasion. Nowadays, I can't get enough of lobster rolls and big seafood boils during the hotter months, but there are so many other ways to enjoy this popular crustacean throughout the season.

If you grew up playing The Sims like I did, then you know exactly what lobster thermidor is. Or at least, you know what it is in the context of the popular RPG (role playing game): It's the final meal your simulated character learns after studying the culinary arts over the course of a few days. As in real life, in The Sims, the more you cook and the more cookbooks you read, the more recipes you learn, and the faster your simulated character can graduate from salad to spaghetti to tri-tip steak, then finally to lobster thermidor.
The goal is always lobster thermidor.

These warm and buttery lobster rolls are the best take on our favorite connecticut-style lobster rolls! So rich and decadent, perfect for a summer meal with an icy beer or chilled glass of wine!
We have reached the pinnacle of summer with my perfect buttery lobster rolls!
Seriously does it GET any better than this?! Look at those buttery chunks of lobster! The fresh herbs, lemon, the buttery bread!
I could eat this every single day for the rest of the season.
You may remember a few years ago when we went to Maine and basically took ourselves on a lobster roll tour for four days. I mean, we ate so many lobster rolls that I was fearful for my cholesterol when we returned from that trip. We waited in line after line and tried all the best places.
Totally worth it.
Both Eddie and I are definitely connecticut-style lobster roll people. We love the lobster drenched in butter on a warm (and sometimes toasty?) brioche bun. The best ones we had were at Eventide and I’m pretty sure they actually use brown butter. Which was absolutely INSANE. SO, so so good.
And since that trip, I’ve been making lobster rolls at home at least once a summer.
I love to use claw meat because it’s my favorite – and then a mix of lobster tails too. I know that most lobster roll recipes used steamed meat, but I prefer to cook mine in butter! It only needs to be in the pan for a few minutes, which ensures that it is so tender and soft and not overcooked,
Then comes lots of melted butter, some fresh herbs, a spritz of lemon and… that’s it.
