Lobster Roll Recipe: Strip House Restaurant In Essex County

“Nothing says summer more than a classic Lobster Roll,” says Mathew Glazier of The Glazier Group, which owns & operates Strip House at the Westminster Hotel in Livingston.

“It’s the most popular item on our new summer menu,” Glazier attests. “We add richness by layering slices of fresh avocado on top and serving it with a generous portion of house-made fingerling potato chips.”

Whisk everything together till it’s thin, but creamy.

Directions for Lobster Roll

Roughly chop lobster meat. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add dressing (start with 1-2 T, then taste; add more if desired.)Mix thoroughly. Add chopped parsley. Mix till all blends together. Lightly grill and butter bun.

For a unique presentation, cut a diamond shaped incision on top of the bun, stuff lobster mix into the “hole,” and place the diamond cut-out next to the finished roll.

Serve with homemade fingerling potato chips.
