The Lobster Roll (a.k.a. Lunch)

(The 50th post! Happy reading.)

Occasion: Post-beach lunch with Abby, Elizabeth and Jill
Location: The Lobster Roll (a.k.a. Lunch) on the Montauk Highway in Napeague or Amagansett, depending on who you ask (lobsterroll.com)
Edibles: lobster rolls for me and Abby; shrimp roll for Elizabeth; fish and chips for Jill

Musings: Redolent of sunscreen and dusted with sand, we arrived. The place is pretty casual - we felt comfortable going in our swimsuits and cover-ups - but we also saw a Maserati convertible in the parking lot. You know you're in the Hamptons when...

While waiting for the food, I amused myself by coloring the paper placemat with the melty crayons provided at the table. Great fun!

The lobster roll was okay, but I've definitely had better; the lobster was pretty shredded and scrap-y. Jill's fish was wonderful, though. A Hamptons institution it may be, but Lobster Roll has a ways to go to catch up to Mary's or Pearl.
