How To: Make a lobster roll sandwich with a side of fries

This lobster roll isn't a roll with little bits of lobster in it, like at Red Lobster. It's a sandwich. It's lobster meat, with its accompanying sauce, in a roll or bagel. Make this lobster roll along with the Old Bay fries.

The best way to make a Lobster Roll? Laurence Edelman, chef/owner of The Mermaid Inn, tells it to us straight. It's all about the lobster. Just use a simple cooking techique, add textured and aromatic accompaniments, a handful of Old Bay-seasoned fries and you're good to go.

Ingredients:

* two 1½-2 lb lobsters
