Lobster rolls are like Harry Potter movies: In our opinion, there can never be enough.
And this roll is ready to star at your next surf-and-turf-themed soiree: We asked Island Creek Oyster Bar chef Jeremy Sewall to share his grandmother’s time-tested recipe, which she perfected over 50 years of serving her lobsterman husband’s catches.
Consider us spellbound.
