Lobster Roll and Belly Fried Clams

[Bashful3]

Holly Moore says you can't get either with class in PHilly. Well, I know about the belly fried clams--at the Sansom Street Oyster House, their appetizer portion is huge, at $7.50, and very very good.

Anywhere else?

And, how about those lobster rolls?

[Holly Moore]

That is good to know. And very near to my business. Richard Bookbinder always calls me when he gets a batch in though they are usually too expensive this time in the summer because all the clam shuckers go pick blueberries.

Now if you can come up with a genuine lobster roll in Philadelphia I'll be really impressed.

have you seen bad ones in philly, holly?

i just haven't seen any.

only one i've had was brought back from boston, i have no clue where from.

was mediocre, i thought.

could just be the place, though.

does any place in boston make a good one? i imagine one of them should.

Agawam Diner, on U.S. 1 about half an hour north of Boston.

I would be happy with a close call. Too bad it does not happen.

The last time I was at Yann in CC, there was something approximating a lobster roll on the menu but it wasn't on a hot dog bun. kt

Well, need to come to Maine, "Reds" in Wiscassett for the Lobster Roll, paid $ 12.95 last Wed. Just Meat: One and onehalf tails from a 'Chick' plus tree claws and a few nuckles. Nothing else on a buttered and toasted Franks Bun. Mayo or drawn Butter on the side. (and Napkins)

Got to give it to them Mainers!

But don't ask for a real Italian Cold Cut Hoagie. What you get is an 'Italian' with some Bologna, Ham, maybe some cooked Salami and Am. Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, all on a bun (undescribable) where the label needs a 'description'

So, don't feel bad, we got ours, you got yours.

i popped in yann's yesterday.

is it on the menu?

it was rather late.

croissant was decent.

The lobster roll at Yann was on a printed up paper menu, along with other salads and sandwiches. I went back for more gelato and it was $3.75 so I'm going to move on to trying some of the pretty looking pastries.

[herbacidal]

they were on the menu?

i skimmed it, but i guess i missed the roll.

how's the gelato, and the pastries if you've tried them?

Although it's not a real lobster roll, Philadelphia Fish and Company has a lobster salad on a toasted bun on their bar menu for $12 that's pretty good.
