Discovering the East Coast in Every Bite – The Artisan Lobster Roll at North Sea Fish and Farms in Crossroads Market
When we set out to create the perfect lobster roll for North Sea Fish and Farms, we knew we wanted something that truly honored the essence of East Coast cuisine. Lobster rolls are a classic, beloved by seafood enthusiasts across the world, but we wanted to offer something that would stand out—something that would bring a taste of the coast to the heart of our community. After much consideration and taste-testing (the best part of the job!), we decided that the Connecticut-style lobster roll was the way to go.
Why Connecticut style? Simply put, it allows the lobster to shine. The beauty of this style lies in its simplicity: warm, buttered lobster, served in a soft, toasted bun. No heavy mayonnaise or overpowering ingredients—just pure, succulent lobster with a touch of butter to enhance its natural sweetness. It’s all about letting the star of the show take center stage.
But a lobster roll is only as good as its bun, and we knew we needed something special. That’s where our partnership with Bread Box comes in. They’ve crafted the perfect bun for our rolls—soft, buttery, and with just the right amount of toast to hold up to our generous portions of lobster without overpowering it. The bun is the unsung hero of our roll, offering the ideal balance of texture and flavor to complement the lobster.
And of course, we couldn’t forget the seasoning. We turned to our friends at The Spice Merchant, who have provided us with their Newfoundland Old Bay seasoning. This blend is the perfect pairing for our lobster, adding just the right amount of spice and depth to elevate each bite without masking the delicate flavors of the lobster itself. It’s a nod to the rich culinary traditions of Newfoundland, bringing a touch of a Canadian twist to every roll we serve.
At North Sea Fish and Farms in the Crossroads Market, we’re passionate about bringing the best of the East Coast to your plate. Our new Artisan Lobster Roll is more than just a dish—it’s a tribute to the quality, tradition, and simplicity of great seafood. We’re excited to share this new addition with you, and we can’t wait for you to experience the taste of the coast right here in the market.
Come by and try it for yourself—whether you’re a long-time lover of lobster or a first-time taster, we’re sure you’ll fall in love with this roll as much as we have.
See you at the market!
