Pick of the Week: Green Spot Lobster Roll PDF Print E-mail
by Amy Ephron   


It’s not really fair to have a pick of the week that’s as obscure as this one, but we were in Maine for a family wedding and my sister and I just had to go up to the Green Spot or the G-Spot as Lucy Dahl calls it, since we were almost in shouting distance. And we wanted to meet Brenda and Tanya and see the store. Also, Brenda promised lunch, not just lunch, "lobster roll the way it should be done," she kept insisting.

So after the irresistible onion rings, the ok fried clams, the 7 chocolates they also sold at the blueberry pie store, and I must confess, a fried fish sandwich that was almost something to twitter about, In any event, we sheepishly phoned Brenda from the road as we were just hitting Augusta as we had been instructed.

The reason she’d insisted we call when we were five minutes away was so that she could put the live lobster in the pot, right then and there. Then she melted butter and slathered it lightly (can you lightly slather something) on a fabulous bun, which she then let sit for awhile before toasting in a dry frying pan. And then she assembled the lobster with barely any mayonnaise set it on the French toast roll and the whole thing sort of melts in your mouth in some way I can’t even describe. It isn’t too rich and on any other day, I bet I could have eaten more than one. The problem is, I have no idea what I’m going to do when I get a hankering for it. It’s awfully far to go for a sandwich, but I may have to go back to Maine next year!
