Participating restaurants in New England have been selling a lobster roll as of June 27 made of 100 percent North Atlantic lobster and mayonnaise, layered with lettuce and stuffed into a home-style toasted role, reports Fox Connecticut. The Lobster Roll is selling for $7.99 and has 290 calories, and is the first time in a decade New England-area McDonald’s restaurants have offered the seafood special. “The return of the Lobster Roll is exciting because we have requests for it every summer. It’s a delicious sandwich and we are thrilled to offer this regional favorite at a great value,” says Nicole Garvey, a McDonald’s Boston region spokesperson. \[[_Fox_](http://foxct.com/2015/06/26/mcdonalds-to-offer-lobster-roll-at-new-england-restaurants/)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3939696/mcdonalds-lobster-roll-new-england/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3939696/mcdonalds-lobster-roll-new-england/"},"headline":"How McDonald's Is Classing Up Its Menu in New England","datePublished":"2015-06-29T12:55:55.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:21:33.890Z","description":"McLobster, anyone?","url":"https://time.com/3939696/mcdonalds-lobster-roll-new-england/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Food","Mcdonald's","Restaurant"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt55612eb494177fd7/698858de3c163913814589c6/gettyimages-470704742.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Sam Frizell","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/sam-frizell/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt55612eb494177fd7/698858de3c163913814589c6/gettyimages-470704742.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"McDonald's Reports Poor Quarterly Earnings","caption":"McDonald's Reports Poor Quarterly Earnings","creditText":"Justin Sullivan—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3939696/mcdonalds-lobster-roll-new-england/","name":"How McDonald's Is Classing Up Its Menu in New England"}}]}] ```
