"According to Chef Siegel, "lobster rolls served along the northeastern coast from Mass to Maine usually come with bags of kettle chips, since deep fryers are usually not found on the lobster docks." It's easy enough to pick up your favorite flavor of kettle chips from the store, but if you're looking for homemade sides, the key is to keep things light and simple. Siegel recommends, "sweet grilled corn and boiled salt potatoes...along with fresh green salads with a light vinaigrette.""
"Siegel does admit that, at Cheeky's, lobster rolls are served with french fries and coleslaw. So, you could crisp up some frozen french fries in the air fryer or make coleslaw. As far as side dishes to avoid, Siegel told us to "stay away from anything too heavy or dairy-based (please no ranch for dipping!), as lobster rolls signify summertime and eating outside on the water.""
Lobster rolls along the northeastern coast often come with bags of kettle chips because deep fryers are uncommon on lobster docks. Homemade sides should be light and simple, such as sweet grilled corn, boiled salt potatoes, and fresh green salads with a light vinaigrette. Boiled salt potatoes can be transformed into an oil-based potato salad like a French potato salad with Dijon and fresh herbs. Restaurants sometimes serve lobster rolls with french fries and coleslaw; frozen fries can be crisped in an air fryer. Avoid anything too heavy or dairy-based, especially ranch. Refreshing beers (pilsners or lagers) or a crisp Provence rosé or Muscadet pair well.
