From the North Shore to the South Shore: A Connecticut Native Brings Hot Butter Lobster Rolls to NOLA
New Orleans is the ultimate seafood city, a culinary capital celebrated worldwide for its deep-rooted traditions. Yet, for this Connecticut native, there is one supreme, cherished seafood delicacy conspicuously missing from the Crescent City's rich landscape: the authentic, hot butter Connecticut Lobster Roll.
Rougarou Shuckers is closing that 1,500-mile gap this week. We are injecting a piece of New England heritage into the NOLA event scene with a strictly limited-time offering: the true, unadulterated hot butter lobster roll—straight from the North Shore, right here to New Orleans.
The Hot Butter Roll: Why Authenticity Matters
The great New England lobster roll debate is simple: are you a "cold mayo" person, or a "hot butter" purist?
We belong firmly in the purist camp. The hot butter roll is the standard for maximizing flavor and celebrating the luxury of the lobster itself. We take fresh, tender lobster meat—prioritizing the rich claw and tail—and gently warm it in a pool of melted, unsalted butter. It is then piled high onto a perfectly buttered and toasted New England-style split-top bun, with minimal seasoning.
This process transforms the lobster roll from a chilled sandwich into a rich, savory, and sophisticated experience. The result is a taste of classic New England summer, prepared with the same commitment to premium product and execution that defines our Oystertainment services.
Find Us This Saturday: Henry's Uptown Bar Pop-Up
Come experience this taste of New England luxury right in the heart of the Garden District.
We are excited to announce our New Orleans pop-up event this Saturday, November 15th, at the historic neighborhood institution, Henry's Uptown Bar at 5101 Magazine St. . Henry's, known as a local watering hole that’s been “serving beer since before you were born” , is the perfect authentic NOLA spot to showcase our capability for high-end, specialty catering in any setting.
This juxtaposition is a powerful statement: the standard of quality we bring to a historic dive bar can effortlessly scale to your wedding reception or corporate gala.
