Astoria & lobster
Astoria's lobster runs through greater New York — from Montauk, a fishing village since the 1880s whose catch once rode the railroad to the Fulton Fish Market. Long Island Sound's lobster collapsed around 2000 but is slowly returning to these waters.
🦞 Lobster lore
A lobster roll comes two ways: Maine-style (cold, with mayo) and Connecticut-style (warm, with drawn butter), the rivalry is genuine.
