The Broad Street Oyster Co., a rare place where a lobster roll is made well, safely, and consistently.
The main ingredients are butter, lobster, and bread. Warm the whole thing up.
Or have the chilled mayo—extra uni (fresh sea urchins). You throw in some parsley, maybe some lemon.
Simplicity can work too.
Not everything has to be fancy and complicated. As Garret B visiting from Lousiville, Kentucky, on yelp last month wrote,
" So fresh, so generous, it was just jaw-droppingly good. You're not paying for a sauce or even really a recipe here, you're paying for stupid-fresh seafood prepared simply so that freshness can shine. Gah, I want to go back to California!!!!"
Of course, you can still visit Maine to see where the lobster roll classics have been perfected over the decades — but at Broad Street Oyster Co., you can fulfill your urge for a lobster roll that delivers on every front, right here in Malibu.
And if lobster is not your thing, they have excellent chowder or one of the many other tasty plates of seafood, oysters, and lunch options at Broad Street Oyster Co. in Malibu.
