Korean Spicy Lobster Roll

The Best Lobster Roll I’ve Ever Made

This spicy lobster roll is another recipe that I have been craving ever since our Spiny Lobster season here in Florida opened up about a month ago. I’ve always been a big fan of lobster rolls, and have made many variations of them over the years, but this particular one, is hands down the most flavorful. While the lobster is certainly the star of the show, it’s also worth pointing out the quality of bun you use makes a huge difference, too!

What Makes This Lobster Roll Unique

This recipe utilizes creamy Kewpie Mayo alongside the spicy and slightly tangy Mama O’s Kimchili Sauce. For a little bit of nutty flavor, I added some sesame oil, and for a touch of sweetness and some added heat, I used some hot honey in the mix. To top it all off, I garnished it with some green onions and one of my favorites – furikake seasoning!

How I Got The Lobster

Made Me Work For It

This particular lobster came on a day that wasn’t super productive for me. I took my kayak out off of Dania Beach in the afternoon and the current and viz were horrible. Usually it’s not too difficult for me to find at least 4 decent sized lobsters in just a few hours, but this day proved to be different.

One Is Plenty

The problem with the visibility being so bad, especially at the surface, was that I couldn’t see any good rock structures from the surface, and was forced to dive down blindly. I did finally come across a few lobsters hiding under the rocks, but it was not the easiest extraction because of how far back they were. I did end up securing one lobster, and even though it wasn’t as many as I would have hoped for, it made this Korean spicy lobster roll even more special.
