I had the best lobster roll of my life – Maria also – at a place called the Rye Harbor Lobster Pound in Rye, N.H. on Monday. I was shocked by it, it was so good and so different.

We ordered a warm lobster roll (I dislike the mayonnaise slathered cold rolls) and we found this small shack on the harbor in Rye. They were out of the Lobster Gaspacho, alas, but the roll. They stuffed the fresh hot dog roll with sweet chunks of fresh lobster – the  lobster stuck out way over the top.

The roll was grilled in butter and the lobster chunks were warmed in butter and sauce. The thing literally melted in my mouth. It was delicious, no lobster roll I have ever eaten even came close. I think I would like to go back and get another one, Maria and I both agreed it was a mystical experience.

We came back the next day for more, but they were closed. I’m not sure I can ever eat a lobster roll from any other place again.
