A warm split brioche roll filled with chunks of Lambay Island or Carlingford lobster meat dressed in melted butter and a squeeze of lemon, the contemporary Dublin signature seafood.

The Dublin lobster roll became the city's modern seafood signature when Niall Sabongi opened Klaw on Crown Alley in Temple Bar in 2015, importing the Maine warm-butter style and pairing it with Lambay Island and Carlingford lobster landings. The dish was a market-rate plate at first but became the city's seafood reference under EUR 20; today Klaw, Sole Seafood and the Howth quay bars all serve a version. The warm butter Maine style won over the chilled mayonnaise Connecticut style in Dublin.
