Maine Red Snapper Dog

If seafood's not really your thing, skip the Maine lobster rolls and stick to hot dogs. Popularly named red snapper dogs, these franks come in a distinctive vibrant red hue that are dyed in their natural casing and named for the "snapping" sound they make when biting into them. Like their seafood counterparts, they're traditionally served in a split-top toasted bun, sometimes topped with contrasting yellow mustard and relish for a tangy finish. If you can get your hands on the red dogs and buns, you're pretty much set.
