Mary's Fish Camp

The Best Lobster Rolls In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"Mary's Fish Camp has been around for over 20 years, and it's the first place that a lot of New Yorkers think of when they're looking for a lobster roll. That makes sense, because the lobster roll here is still one of the best. This sandwich is the most mayo-heavy version on this guide, and it comes with big chunks of meat, celery, and chives on a buttered Pepperidge Farm split top bun. You'll notice a pronounced amount of lemon in the lobster mixture as well. You can get crunchy shoestring fries on the side, but the creamy celery root slaw with red onions, capers, and chopped cornichons is a great alternative. The only downside is that the lobster roll is pricey (labeled with the dreaded "MP" on the menu). The price tag was $46 on a recent visit, and the sandwich isn't even that big. Still, we can't deny this lobster roll a place on this list." - Bryan Kim, Kenny Yang
