A lobster tail is terrific by itself. But a chicken fried lobster tail is over the top delicious. Think fried chicken, but with lobster. Yeah, it’s that good.

Why Use Lobster?

Well, why not? Chicken fried anything tastes great. Why not take the best the sea has to offer and make chicken fried lobster? You have never had lobster like this before. Try it.

How to Prepare Chicken Fried Lobster

Cut the underside of the lobster with kitchen sheers and pull back the membrane. Gently free the tail meat from the shell and separate it from the bottom of the shell.

Serve the lobster with a few tablespoons of aioli. Make sure to prepare the aioli in advance. The lobster will cool quickly when it’s out of the fryer and you want to eat this dish hot. Don’t forget to deep fry the shell with the lobster tail. The shell will turn bright red and makes a nice decoration on the plate.

Ready to Serve

For a completely different fried lobster experience, try making lobster tempura. The texture of tempura batter is very different from a chicken fried batter. While both are cooked in 350˚ F oil, the chicken fried lobster is a little heartier of a dish. The batter has substance to it. Tempura lobster, on the the other hand, is soft and delicate. Both are great and both have their place in a lobster culinary lineup.
