That's a fair price, depending on the freshness and mix of lobster meat. Generally, tail meat is pricier but superior to claw meat. Then you must factor in the sourcing, IOW where does it come from and how fresh is it? Add everything together, and you'll get a wide range of pricing. I've paid as much $26 (not locally) for a roll and found it worth every penny. As far as local places go, the Fish House in Germantown frequently has a lobster roll special that is a decent rendition for around $16 bucks or so. I'd rate it a good value, with bonus points for the buttery yet crispy texture of the roll itself.
