30 B4 30 Day 3: Order Something I Have Never Eaten

Who doesn't love food? I will try anything I am offered, at least once. Sometimes I need to try it a few times before I can really decide if I like it or a don't. Like caviar for example, I tried it a few times and still hate it. So, for my 3rd item on the list, I decided to order something at a restaurant that I have never tried before.

TK and I headed out east to The Lobster Roll in Riverhead so I could try none other than the lobster roll. Tah dah! We started with blowfish bites called Puffers. I never tried blowfish before and it was really good. It wasn't as adventurous as if I would have chosen the more unique blowfish dish: Fugu. Chefs have to get certified to make it so that they don't kill anyone. Anyway, this wasn't that.

Then, I ordered the restaurant's namesake. I have always wanted to try a lobster roll because it has fish, mayo and celery, and I like all those. It was pretty tasty but I should have known it wouldn't be my favorite because I don't like cold fish. I don't even eat shrimp cocktail. Anywho, it was big chunks of lobster, which I would have loved if I could have heated them up and dipped them in butter, but that is beside the point. This didn't taste like fish and it was really fresh. To me, that's quality food. I enjoyed my $22 sandwich but I am not so sure I would order it again. Another quality lesson learned...
