Lobster roll with hollandaise?

[Anonymous No.14383143]

Backstory:
when I was about 14, I visited the northeast of the US. We went to a small town in some state or other called something like Woonsockit. In any case, we had these long roll sandwiches stuffed with butter-drenched and celery-flavoured lobster meat with chips/fries, gherkins and wedged lemon served alongside. They were delicious.

Actual question:
I want to do a semi recreation of an American-style lobster roll, albeit with prawn/shrimp instead of lobster and dressed with hollandaise rather than dripping with butter. Would such a thing be a culinary taboo to Americans or would it be a delicious variation? Would you eat it?

I'd eat it but I'd prefer garlic butter over hollandaise

[Anonymous No.14383156]

Hollandaise would be fine.
It's mostly melted butter.

I would prefer to go with a remoulade, as I think it would match the lobster better.
Not a spicy remoulade, however. A tart remoulade.

I would use remoulade except that I really rather dislike tarragon and chervil so I've never much cared for the stuff.

>>14383154
Now that you mention it, maybe a garlic-flavoured hollandaise would be even better. The only thing I disliked about the sandwich was how messy it was to eat so I though a hollandaise, which it's thicker consistency, would make far less of a mess. Remoulade would work, too, but as I hate half the herbs that go into it, I'd rather go with hollandaise here.

Straight clarified butter or a little mayo is all you’d need assuming the meat is good. Toasted hot dog roll with lemon on the side

Very little would be considered culinary taboo here. You can pretty much do whatever you want, as long as it's tasty and you don't pass it off as a specific thing (ie, a "new york style hotdog" when you've added ketchup)

Wrong. I came to Maine hearing all about lobster rolls and how good they are, but all I got was a hot dog bun with some lobster on it. A slather of mayo and some Old Bay sprinkled on top was the only dressing. I paid 20 fucking bucks for it. Came back home, to Indy of all places, and found a food truck that sold lobster rolls with a spicy giardiniera on it on a proper toasted bun... Now that's the right flavor. Locals try to say all you need is the lobster on a bun, but honestly, you need to give options because I've asked a lot of people who travel and just about everyone I ask says they were disappointed when they had their first lobster roll.

Opinion of a Mainah, lobsters are overrated sea cockroaches that feed our tourist industry. Totally agree that shacks need to offer more condiments. It’s a shame the locals didn’t direct you to an oyster/fish fry place (Fried scallops/gulf shrimp are way better than lobster IMO).

Do you think I'm impressed because you used pretentious foreign words on an AMERICAN sight? I don't eat any of that shit because I'm not a foreign terrorist who hates the 2nd amendment. I don't have to look up to OBSESSED french surrender frogs, try trespassing on my private property and see how far that gets you francois, hon hon hon hon, wave the white flag, we saved your ass in World War 2!

Nigger do you mean Massachusetts? And yes I would try it, but lobster is the premier shellfish, specifically the claw. All else is second tier.

Woonsocket must be right, but I don't think it was Ye Olde English, no. I think the place started with an L.

We weren't visiting Woonsocket specifically. Just passing through. We'd asked someone at a petrol station where to eat and what to get that's a local speciality. He'd suggested getting lobster rolls at such-and-such place and gave directions. So we went. We ate. And we continued on our way.

Seeing this post reminds me of how based my New England anons are. Let's all meet up at the spot, and you guys all know the one, for some oysters and brews and laugh at these flyover, inbred southerners, West coast freaks, and yuropoors.

Americans don't have culinary taboos, if it tastes good, you do it. It's a fucking free for all here, not like Shitaly or whatever where they freak out if you use the wrong kind of pasta or add cream to anything.
