The last time I went to Tamarack their lobster rolls were actually Langostino. I used to really like Waldo Peppers lobster rolls but they were also made from canned North Atlantic lobster meat.
Anyone who has had a lobster roll at Red's in Maine knows what a REAL Maine lobster roll is. Do any Lakes Region lobster rolls even come close to Red's? Do any of them use real fresh Maine lobster? |
Great question. Impossible to know provenance for sure without working in the kitchen, but my parents live in Maine, and I have Maine lobster rolls at least 6X/year. Tamarack used 100% lobster on the roll I just had. I was pleasantly surprised, I expected langostinos. (and surely would not have posted in those circumstances, haha)
