I got a remarkable number of "What's a lobster roll?" answers.

Oh, and then there's Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobster_roll

(I just had one here in Connecticut, so I figured I'd post a poll. The dividing line seems to be Connecticut and south for butter, Massachusetts and north for mayonnaise. I'm not sure what the preference is in the Maritimes. There's a lot of overlap, and some places offer both. Heck, D'Angelo's franchises, even on the Mass Pike, serve both, although I haven't dared try one yet.)

Mary's. Mayo. Did I mention there's a Brooklyn (Mary's) Fish Camp achingly close to my apartment?

oh, lucky - but exp. Is there as much of a line as there is in the Village?

Actually, I'd totally be up for a Boston lobsterganza when I'm up there at the end of June. Mac's first lobster roll!

We went at 7:30 on Saturday with a party of 4 (us, plus Dad and stepmom) and had to wait, like, 20 minutes. Not too bad. And we don't go that often -- expensive both in dollars and points!
