not lobster rolls

west coast cravings

Jul 18, 2026

I live on the west coast, which means real lobster is basically a rumor to me. Meanwhile everyone out east is eating it like it’s nothing and I am, frankly, seething with jealousy. I had a RIDICULOUS lobster pasta at my wedding though, which might have been one of the best things I’ve ever eaten, and I’ve been chasing that feeling ever since. But seeing as lobster is best fresh, I know not everyone can get it. And more importantly, I am not about to kill a live lobster in my kitchen. So shrimp it is!
