New England's Fish Taco


By now, anyone who reads this blog knows about my fascination of fish tacos. I would safely say it is obvious. While Tickle would like to argue that NYC is the palace of fish tacos, we all know that the fish taco's mecca is San Diego. As San Diego celebrates the fish taco, New England bows down before the lobster roll. For those of you not in the know, a lobster roll is a sandwich filled with delectable lobster meat. Traditionally, the lobster is served on a hot dog bun, but many bread iterations exist (Tickle prefers the hot dog bun). As such, the fish taco is to San Diego, as the lobster roll is to New England. In fact, lobster rolls are so adored in New England that even some McDonald's offer them on their menu...craziness!




Though NYC is not officially considered New England, it is nevertheless hard not to feel lucky to not only have the country's best and most creative fish tacos, but to have a vibrant and ass-kicking lobster roll scene! In particular, I must recommend Luke's Lobster. I've tackled a lobster roll or two at their East Village haunt, but they have recently opened a spot on the Upper East Side. Check it, folks!
