  Maine  Lobster rolls are a New England specialty. With Maine just a short drive away, lobster is not too hard to find on the menus of many eateries around Boston. What is harder to find is a place where you can get high quality lobster for a generally reasonable price.

  Lobster rolls come in many sizes and variations. Components are generally simple: roll, lobster, mayonnaise, and sometimes celery or scallions. Whether hoagie rolls or small buttery buns, the roll should be smooth and easy to eat. It’s safe to say though, if you’re ordering a lobster roll you’re likely not getting it for the bread or the celery.

   You’re in it for the lobster, the titular star of the dish. The amount of boston or maine  lobster is a true testament to the value for money in the roll. Served cold or warm with drawn butter, the lobster is the most delectable part of the lobster roll. That said, places can serve small portions of lobster for prices up to $30 per roll!

   That’s where Pauli’s in the North End has you covered. Their fresh lobster rolls are stuffed full of lobster and everything about the sandwich just works. The bread is soft, not soggy, and adds to the flavor of the lobster. Biting into the warm bread is pleasant and toothsome.

  The celery is nowhere to be found and the mayo is light, allowing you to focus on the heaping mounds of lobster before you. Whole claws are visible and the roll is filled to the brim with wicked good fresh maine  lobster. Continue
