The Perfect Lobster Roll Recipe Completly From Scratch

[@FortYort]

Major respect to Mike for that little bit at the end regarding the harvesting of meat, and being aware of the process. If you wanna eat meat, you shouldn't hide from the reality of your meal, and should understand the sacrifice that went into it.

[@heavyq]

I had someone ask me once when eating a burger if I'd ever kill a cow so I could eat beef. My grandpa used to raise Angus cows, so when I said "I did when I was like, 8 years old" it blew their mind. Knock them out, a bolt to the forehead, and they never feel a thing.

"major respect"? ... gush much??

[@clemensmartin1034]

[@solchapeau6343]

@@clemensmartin1034 You do know that all types of animals eat other animals, right? From parasitic worms, to African lions, animals eat (and kill) other animals for nutrition. Bears are omnivores like us. Have you seen how they act when salmon spawn? They eat a small part and waste the rest.

[@clemensmartin1034]

@@solchapeau6343 Thats the ye old natural fallacy - yes animals also rape others of their species, they often eat smaller members of their species and male lions often kill cubs from other males so the females get pregnant faster. And all of that matters exactly zero to determine whether something is moral or not.

Thank you for a full comprehensive video showing beginning to end of making a lobster roll, outside of growing and harvesting your own lobster. It's so annoying that so many of these so called online/youtube cooks who won't take the time to make their own rolls for their sandwiches or in this case a lobster roll but show you the basics on what to put in a roll. Many kudos to you for all the work you do. I have used your philly cheesesteak roll recipe for making the "cheezers" which work out great but I've found changing the recipe a little due to my microclimate and the water we have here made a huge difference to get it correct. Sorry getting back to the lobster rolls. I appreciate everything you do and all the time you take researching how to make the best of the best in all recipes. I wish more cooks would do the same.

[@phillo1818]

I grew up in a Nova Scotia fishing village so seafood, lobster is second nature to me. The noise (screaming) one hears after dropping lobster into a large caldron is the air escaping from the lobsters body. By the way the best lobster and bang for your buck is cold water/(hard shell) early season, the shell is very hard and the meat is fuller and there is more fat. Which is the white/grey stuff you see inside the cavities and on the sides of the head. Traditionally we use butter and since I love to cook I’ll make dipping bowls of garlic and lemon butters and I’ll make a brun butter also. Traditionally we don’t do the lobster roll thing, some restaurants do but nobody local does it. We like our fresh off the boat lobster straight up with butter. There is also a lot of meat in the head area so don’t chuck it before exploring every crevasse. Great show!

[@alannolet3109]

I'm from Nova Scotia and have been boiling lobster all my life. Made some for dinner this evening, followed your friend Mark's advice on steaming and my lobster has never been better!

I’ve lived in Maine my entire life. A traditional lobster roll for any local (inland or on the coast) is: frankfurter bun, grilled with butter, and fresh cooked lobster. Most people use mayo but there are a few that go with fresh drawn butter instead. No seasoning involved other than salt and pepper. No herbs. No sesame seeds. No veggies. The lobster is the star. The reason it was the best lobster ever❤️: you received the lobster from Maine (best in the world), very fresh/alive, plus you cooked it yourself. Maine lobster is amazing. Imagine cooking it just hours out of the water 😉

[@Agenthoneydew33]

Cold lobster rolls I just what people from Maine prefer it's not traditional

[@waweboardgirl]

Now that's a product placement that I enjoyed! Well done!

This is the best series EVER! The history, the cheeky music in the background, your knowledge of each ingredient! Just excellent all around! I’m a new fan for life.

[@GrantBakes]

Looks great! Personally I can't get enough of the sandwich series! Keep 'em comin'. I got into sourdough and bread in general from Pro Home Cooks over a year ago, and now I have my own channel and I'm baking every week! Thanks.

[@lawsylawsy01]

Thank You for showing a humane way of sacrificing the lobster! I have family all over New England and butter is the way to go! Love the sandwich series!

[@evanparry901]

Had lobster with my parents last night and mentioned I want to develop an actual dish around it. Perfect timing!

[@MrXaeb]

As a Maine native you got it, partly, right. Usually a true Maine lobster roll is just fresh lobster meat (I prefer claw not tail for rolls) a little mayo and just a slight drop of lemon, maybe a sprinkle of salt. Some places put a thin leaf of lettuce, some don't. I like the crunch of celery in mine but it isn't how it's served in Maine at most restaurants. The herbs, to me, would overwhelm the mild and delicate flavor of the lobster. Good stuff though!

[@doc8125]

Yo dude, what happend to the desert and noodle series? They were in the same style as the sandwich series and I REALLY love that style

[@unicornmuffin1]

I second this motion!

[@scuba-people]

Ok !! I got one sandwich for you this is a true mediterranean french classic sandwich typical from the town of Nice! we have arguments over who makes the best one in nice itself and it's a sandwich that requires its own kind of bread. The pan bagnat, or the swiming bread in nicois has humble beginnings but a tradition of provence.

[@leemcclements8889]

I live in New England. They both look amazing! Wow...been looking for a good homemade lobster roll recipes and I think I just found it!

[@raymondbabich6408]

I liked that at the end of the video you went on that rant about killing lobster and about being more connected to the process of your food. I think the fact that people today are so disconnected from their food is terrible. You need to be able to understand that when you are eating delicious meat that you are taking a life. I think it's taken way too lightly.

[@jessewatkins5059]

Having killed what I eat, people need to connect more with their food sources. Maybe they think the chicken in the package comes from a chicken machine at the supermarket, or so they wanna think about it.

[@taylorsessions4143]

Great video as usual. On a side note, I've been really worried about your brother. He's been putting himself through such awful things lately, based on his videos I just hope he can figure out some of these things and reclaim his peace and sanity. I'm so glad that you have stuck with the cooking, you have inspired me in kitchen countless times and sparked my creativity to the point where everyone that knows me expects me to make good food! Just wanted to let you know that you and your brother have changed my life and I'm glad you are doing well and hope that he can learn how to take better care of himself.

Hi Mike!

Thank you for these entertaining and educational videos. Kept being amazing. Thank you

[@pilot2020]

Being from newengland from Boston and culinary background .I've never had a mayo style with all those herbs .true new england lobster roll is very little mayo and celery that it .you want to taste the lobster not get lost in dill and basil. But my favorite is the maine style and how you made it was spot on perfection.

[@maxa2826]

I like a hybrid style. Toss cold chopped lobster in a few spoons of melted butter and one small dollop of mayo. We're talking like 2:1 butter to mayo ratio. Add just a bit of chopped chives, plus a pinch of old bay and some cracked black pepper. The chives give a mild flavor and a hint of crunch, and the small amount of mayo "creamifies" things nicely but maintains the overall flavor profile of the butter.

[@Matthias9319]

You should do a Broodje Kroket that's a sandwich from The Netherlands.

[@MichaelAE]

I came here to say the same. Great sandwich.

[@katie8732]

Hi from the East Coast of Canada!! We have a large lobster fishing industry here too, but most of the locals consider lobster to be common and usually won't eat it much 😅 I love lobster rolls though! I made them for my mom for Mothers day

I can't say I agree but at least this comment tells you that a lobster roll is VERY important to a lot of people. And this seems like a pretty legit recipe.

[@youngrumandcoke]

This is a very fond memory for me. I went to Maine for a week to visit a relative, while they were at work i went out got two buttered lobster rolls and ate them by the ocean. It honestly felt like a movie the skies were gray and there was a cold strong wind but the lobster rolls were hot and delicious 🤤

As far back as 1970, chopped lobster meat heated in drawn butter was served on a hot dog bun at roadside stands such as Red's Eats in Maine.Lobster rolls in the U.S. are associated with the state of Maine, but are also commonly available at seafood restaurants in the other New England states and on Eastern Long Island, where lobster fishing is common.

For the mayo recipe, if you have an immersion hand blender just throw your egg and oil together (I like to use an old bean tin) and zap it. Just like that you have mayo.

[@98seannyboi]

Great video, but I tried to make the dough and it has been coming out extremely tough, and I see yours was nice and fluffy and soft. I threw out the first batch because I thought I measured wrong, then I did it again making sure I got the measurements right, and still, very rigid, I’m letting it sit right now, I’ll let you know how it turns out, very frustrating though

[@marnaharris5825]

This recipe is clearly flawed if you look at the written recipe it says use 1/4 cup of milk so I did that and when I added the 5 cups of flour I knew it wasn’t right because it’s just powder and doesn’t form a dough ball so I went back to the video and the chef says use 1 1/4 cups of milk but when I added the additional cup of milk the dough was still tough like you had mentioned so my suggestion is keep adding warm milk until the dough is soft and comes around the hook when using a mixer or until the dough is soft when you are hand kneading

I liked the video. I am local to those lobsters and I prefer the butter (garlic infused) and seasoning rather than the mayo. I can't say I agree about your little rant on killing what you eat to be "more connected to the process". Although I have no problem killing lobster or fish, I am not going to go slit the throat of a pig because I make my own bacon. People get paid to do the things we don't want to do ourselves. It comes down to, how fresh do you like your seafood and are you willing to do the job yourself for that freshness. If not, well, spend a little more for someone to prepare lobster for you or buy lobster that isn't fresh.

I’d love the melted butter version, too, and think truffle butter instead of any seasoning blend but not too much. However, I REALLY love lobster rolls with mayonnaise and diced - not minced - celery, period. Put all those herbs in a side salad, but not in the lobster. IMO that’s like killing the lobster twice.

[@sunflowerbaby1853]

Now this is my dream sandwich. Thanks for teaching me how to cook one & break it down. Now, let's get all of the ingredients & make one. By the way, I hate mayonnaise. And there are only three other sandwiches that I'll eat. Pastrami, Corn beef & Roast Beef. That's it.
