I love lobster, but I despise Maine lobster roll. People kept telling me, “You just haven’t had a really good one,” but I’ve tried several and I just don’t get it. Why ruin perfectly good lobster with mayonnaise?
Ugh

I don’t usually disagree with you Susie, but that looks damn tasty.
You’re thinking of lobster salad. Red’s serves a lobster on a toasted bun with butter or mayo on the side (http://www.roadfood.com/Reviews/Overview.aspx?RefID=2959).
I’ve tried several and I just don’t get it.
Because they’ve been crap. If you use anything, use no more than a couple of tablespoons of mayo at most to hold the meat together.
Lobster roll fans tend to divide into 2 camps: those who feel that nothing should come between them and the lobster and those who like a little something.
The bread, however, is non-negotiable: it must be New England-style hot dog rolls, split on the top.
When you’re right, you’re right. Nothing but melted butter, and then only when you crack it out of the shell yourself. Also, I live about forty minutes north of Wiscassett and anyone who drives through there in the summer is nuts. Take 95 north to Augusta and hang a right to the coast.
Why eat lobster at all? It’s tough, tasteless, and expensive.
If you think lobster is tough and tasteless, it wasn’t cooked properly.
