Slapfish is a chain that recently came into the LA/OC market. The Brea location opened in a new complex that includes a Whole Paycheck, I mean, Whole Foods, and other upscale restaurants and shops.
A friend told me to check out Slapfish and when I saw they had lobster rolls on their menu, I was going to give them a try! The two places that I had lobster rolls were Knuckle & Claw and Lobster Grill. They couldn't be more different! Knuckle & Claw's lobster roll was served hot, while Lobster Grill's was served cold and more of a lobster salad.
Fish and chip, $9. They use hoki fish, which I think tastes a lot like pollock. The batter was light and crispy. The portion size was huge, well worth the $9. The fries were great, still crispy on the outside and soft on the inside!
Lobster roll, $18. A bit smaller than Knuckle & Claw's version, but also served hot. This a good, with real lobster, flavorful, and very little to no fillers. This wasn't a lobster salad! The bun is better than Knuckle & Claw, but the lobster, which is what you're paying for, is a notch below. But, still a good example of a lobster roll and a good price.
Service was good. Orders are cooked to order, so expect a wait! It's counter service and the girl who took my order was very nice.
I would go back to Slapfish, even if it is behind the Orange Curtain!
