American lobster history dates back to the precolonial era, when Native Americans first discovered lobster on the beaches of New England. Maine became the state that controlled the market in 19th century. Lobster is still a favorite seafood dish.
Maine is known for its lobsters, but chefs across the country have given this claw-snapping creature a new twist to make it more delicious. UNO’s culinary specialists have made a lobster roll that has been enhanced with fresh tarragon and crispy bacon. It is truly a special dish.
This lobster dish is perfect for summer. It’s quick and easy, and it will be a hit at your next family dinner or party.
