Sadly, I just can't get behind the mayonnaise and celery-laden lobster roll at LUNCH in Amagansett. And I certainly can't afford $100/lb lobster salad at Loaves and Fishes in Sagaponack. But what I can heartily recommend is the lobster roll from Claws Seafood Market in West Sayville. Is it the best lobster roll on Long Island? Perhaps.
My favorite lobster roll of all time is at Alisson's in Kennebunkport, Maine. Their lobster roll is lightly mixed with mayo and served on a buttered hot dog bun. That's all. And it's perfect.
Claws is up there. Their version has huge chunks of lobster with a slight "dressing" of mayonnaise, celery and onion. The buttered roll is heavenly. Each bite is awesome. Usually JB and I split. Today we didn't. Add some old bay fries and it's an ideal meal. Not bad for $20 a person.
Keep in mind that Claws is not a fancy place. It's actually a seafood market that also sells lunch and dinner through a takeout window. Dining al fresco here means a roadside picnic table whereas dining indoors is a tiny bar for two. That's how we spent our rainy day.
On a sunnier day we'll come back and hang outside, drink some beers and listen to the live music they offer on Saturdays and Sundays.
Menu options go beyond lobster rolls to fish sandwiches, salads and, yes, even burgers.
Check it out.
Until our next Burger,
