Nova Scotia: Hot Lobster?

[middydd]

Is a "Hot Lobster" Sandwich the same as a Lobster Roll?

I came across the term but haven't been able to find out what makes a "Hot Lobster". Apparently, some restaurants in Nova Scoria are famous for them and lots of people make them at home for New Year's Day dinner.

Was the place outside Yarmouth caleed either Harris Seafood or Quick and Tasty?

Your are close.....It's called Harris Quick-N-Tasty

Yes, Harris' Quick N Tasty. They used to have a restaurant down the hill (across the street from it) that use to serve delicious supper meals, too. Oh, I've had it there (Q n T), but homemade is soooooooooo much better. Kinda watery at Harris', if you ask me, but they make it with real cream and I don't, and the flavour is much better there, just not thick enough for my liking. I eat it at different restaurants. I've even had Lobster Newburg at fancy restaurants, too. YUM!

You are referring to a Hot Lobster Sandwich (not hot lobster, boiled and not chilled...) which is actually made by sauteeing cooked lobster pieces in butter, adding a bit of flour and adding cream (I use milk, 1%, not as good, but better for you) until you get a nice slight thickness to it and serve it on toast, large slices of homemade bread or in small phylo tarts. The true Hot Lobster is called Lobster Newburg, made with dry sherry. Not my style, but lots of people like it. You'll find plenty of recipes for that online and you don't need to add the sherry.

When we visited on our honeymoon, we had a Hot Lobster Sandwich that was different then both a steamed lobster and a lobster roll. It is a little hard to describe but it was kind of like creamed chip beef on toast but instead of beef it was lobster. It was FANTASTIC! When I asked how it was made, the waitress shared that it was just lobster, butter and coffee cream. We had the sandwich at a small diner like spot in Yarmouth not far from where you can catch the cat back to Maine. I highly recommend it.

A hot lobster in these parts is just that, hot, as in, steamed or boiled. As opposed to a cold lobster, which was a hot lobster at one time but which has been refrigerated so that it is served chilled. You're reading more into the term than is there.
