    A lobster roll is a dish native to

    side dishes.[1]

    History

    According to the "Encyclopedia of American Food and Drink"[2] the lobster roll originated as a hot dish at a restaurant named Perry's in Milford, Connecticut, as early as 1929.[2][3] Its popularity then spread up and down the Connecticut coast, but not far beyond it. In Connecticut, the sandwich served warm is called a "lobster roll"; served cold, a "lobster salad roll."[citation needed]

    As far back as 1970, chopped lobster meat heated in drawn butter was served on a hot dog bun at roadside stands such as Red's Eats in Maine.[4] Lobster rolls in the U.S. are associated with the state of Maine,[citation needed] but are also commonly available at seafood restaurants in the other New England states and on Eastern Long Island, where lobster fishing is common.

    Lobster rolls in Maine are characteristically served on a

    New England–style hot dog bun, which is split on the top instead of the side and has flat sides for grilling. The lobster meat is usually served cold, rather than warm or hot, and mayonnaise is typically spread inside the bun or tossed with the meat. The filling consists of chunked knuckle, claw, and lobster tail and is only lightly seasoned if at all. Four ounces is a standard serving size.[citation needed
    ]

    Lobster rolls are a popular seasonal meal, particularly among tourists throughout the

    dill pickles
    .

    McDonald's restaurants in Canadian provinces, such as Nova Scotia and Ontario,[5] as well as in New England,[6] offer lobster rolls as a seasonal item in the summer.[7]
