This Connecticut-style recipe is a favorite, with its lemony butter sauce coating succulent lobster. Generally speaking, a lobster roll served warm is called a lobster roll, while a lobster roll served cold is called a lobster salad roll. Other variations use a mayonnaise-based dressing, which is referred to as New England-style when celery is included. Whichever way you like it, lobster rolls are a simply delicious classic.
