The great lobster roll comparison

So, my friend TB and I started what looks to be the great lobster roll search today. Although it's not so much a search as it is a comparison. Our plan is simple: we try the three lobster rolls purported to be the best in Manhattan and compare them to find the best. Mind you, this, I'm sure has already been done, but we don't care. We want to find out for ourselves - god forbid we take someone else's word for it. We are both seasoned wine and restaurant business professionals and of course, have the best palates of anyone we know. (self-professed, of course). We are legends in our own minds, but often get praise from our non-industry friends, so I figure the bravado is somewhat justified.
After weeks of me telling TB that the new Ed's Lobster Bar had the best lobster roll ever, he insisted on taking me to Pearl Oyster Bar (incidentally, where Ed came from before he opened his own place). The unfortunate thing was that Pearl's happened to be closed today. There was much sadness before we realized that we could walk moments away over to Mary's Fish Camp (where the chef is also an alumnus of Pearl). It would have been nice to start with the mother ship, but we weren't about to be deterred - we had to have a lobster roll today. Now, I trust TB's lobster roll knowledge - particularly since I really only knew that these lovely sandwiches existed since I've been on the East Coast (a whole 2 years). Let me tell you, they are tasty, even if they aren't the best lobster roll ever. Our verdict on Mary's Fish Camp was this: good hunks of lobster, but too much sauce. I didn't like the fries all that much (shoestrings), but as TB explained, they are actually traditionally what you would get with a lobster roll anywhere in New England. Hmm...I think I'm more for the non-traditional then. I'm holding out for better - it looks like on Friday we go to Pearl Oyster Bar and maybe next week, I will introduce him to Ed's.
Here's to more eating...now I just have to find a way to practice singing today before succumbing to a food coma.
