After hiking in Acadia National Park, Margie and her family tried a lobster roll in Bar Harbor, Maine. After enjoying every last bite, she dashed off this postcard:
Dear Sage,
Nothing says New England like a fresh lobster roll! We traveled to Maine this summer and had the most delicious sandwich stuffed with chunks of fresh, buttery lobster, light mayo, a touch of lemon juice, and sprinkles of fresh parsley on a split New England style toasted bun. It was served with a side of crispy fries.
This is a must try anywhere in New England!
Happy travels, Margie
Yum! I used to live in Massachusetts and would seriously go to Maine sometimes just for the food! Now that I live overseas, American food like this is one of the things I really miss. Definitely overdue for a trip to New England!
I understand why, Maine is full of amazing food. Did you know that Bon Apétit named Portland the Restaurant City of the Year in 2018?
We tried Lobster Rolls in Portland, but no one told me there were different kinds of Lobster Rolls! So the one we tried was cold and there wasn’t any mayo on it, and I was NOT a fan! But then after I heard that there was this other kind like Margie tried that was served warm mayo and lemon and I would have MUCH rather gotten the chance to try that one. Next time we’re in Maine I’ll give this one another shot!
I prefer the warm buttery lobster rolls myself! And now I’m craving one…
The description and picture are making my mouth water! I’ve only had lobster rolls outside of Maine / New England, but I’ve always wanted to try them there and wasn’t sure where. Thanks for sharing, will check out Bar Harbor!
