New England lobster rolls and Maine lobster rolls are both made with lobster meat mixed with mayonnaise and seasonings, and served on a toasted hot dog bun. However, there is a subtle difference in the preparation and presentation of the sandwich.
A New England lobster roll typically features chilled lobster meat that is mixed with mayonnaise and seasonings, and is served on a top-split, butter-grilled hot dog bun. This style is often associated with the Eastern seaboard of the United States.
A Maine lobster roll, on the other hand, typically features warm, lightly dressed lobster meat that is served on a steamed, buttered, and toasted hot dog bun. This style is associated with Maine, which is the largest lobster-producing state in the United States.
So the main difference is that a New England lobster roll is chilled and mixed with mayo, while a Maine lobster roll is warm and lightly dressed.
