LOBSTER ROLLS
I grew up in Nova Scotia where seafood was cheap. My Mom and grandmothers had some pretty inventive ways of making lobster 'not-boring!' Now, lobster is a treat and costs a fortune. I've paid over ten dollars for one of these lobster rolls in Cape Cod and it wasn't half as good or half as big as the ones my Mom taught me to make. This is a wonderful summer (or winter) treat and makes a fancy luncheon to impress your friends. (And no, I don't eat the green stuff in the lobster!)

Tips:
- Choose the freshest, highest-quality lobster you can find. Fresh lobster will have a firm texture, bright red color, and a sweet, briny smell. Avoid lobster that is discolored, slimy, or has an off odor.
- Cook the lobster properly. Lobster can be cooked in a variety of ways, but the most popular methods are boiling, steaming, and grilling. Be careful not to overcook the lobster, as this will make it tough and chewy.
- Use high-quality bread or tortillas. The bread or tortillas you use for your lobster wrap should be sturdy enough to hold the filling, but not so thick that it overpowers the flavor of the lobster.
- Add your favorite toppings. Lobster wraps can be topped with a variety of ingredients, such as lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, avocado, and cheese. You can also add sauces, such as mayonnaise, tartar sauce, or drawn butter.
- Serve the lobster wraps immediately. Lobster wraps are best enjoyed fresh out of the kitchen. If you need to make them ahead of time, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.
Conclusion:
Lobster wraps are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or even as a snack. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a gourmet meal that is sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a seafood dish that is both easy to make and delicious, give lobster wraps a try. You won't be disappointed!
