Whipping up homemade lobster rolls can be an arduous and daunting task. Lobster, though delicious, can be a tricky choice of seafood to pick out and cook. When it comes to preparing them in rolls, is it best to choose fresh, live lobsters or frozen ones? How does one even “butcher” a fresh, live lobster properly? And what steps should one take if their lobster filling is too mushy/tough/runny?
To help answer those questions is esteemed YouTuber, cook and author Andrew Rea, better known by the pseudonym Babish. Rea shared his recipes for hot and cold lobster rolls — if you’re heart desires Connecticut-style rolls, go for the former, and if you’re craving Maine-style rolls, go for the latter.
