A Salad Worthy of National Lobster Day at Clam Bar
June 15, 2012 | East End Eats
It’s National Lobster Day, so get thee to Clam Bar and dig into this luxurious lobster salad. Chef Brian Mooney handpicks every lobster that the Napeague Stretch seafood shack serves. Loyal to Montauk’s Misty Rose Lobster Boat, Mooney can go through a whopping 300 pounds of lobster a day during the Hamptons high season. For the salad—which is way healthier than a lobster roll, by the way—Mooney dresses his lobster simply with mayo, celery, and a few secret ingredients and serves it atop a vine-ripened North Fork tomato with a side of local corn. The best part? Chef leaves plenty of claw and knuckle meat completely intact, no mincing or fine dicing of any sort. 2025 Montauk Hwy., Amagansett, 267-6348
