"Connecticut style" refers to a specific way of preparing and serving lobster rolls. Unlike the more common Maine style, which typically features cold lobster salad mixed with mayonnaise, Connecticut style serves warm lobster meat. The lobster is usually sautéed in butter, giving it a rich flavor and a comforting texture.
This style is often served in a toasted, buttered bun, allowing the warm lobster to shine as the main attraction. Connecticut style lobster rolls are popular in seafood shacks and restaurants throughout Connecticut and have gained a following in other regions as well.
