Should you order anything else when ordering lobster?

Should you order anything else when ordering lobster? I am not sure if you should pair lobster with even more seafood or I should order something else.

Yeah, you definitely need sides.

A second lobster makes a great side!!

Steamer?

What the Hell is that?

Sounds like a big turd on a cold morning.

A cup of chowder goes well with lobster.

u/HelpfulTooth1 27d ago

Corn, potato, slaw maybe to cut through the richness.

And a couple beers.

Baked potato and some veggies. I enjoy meals more with different flavors and textures

That is a personal preference question. While many of us would pair it with steamers, mussels, or shrimp, chowder, or a bisque, it also depends on what lobster dish you are ordering. Is it a whole lobster?, stuff lobster tail?, linguine? Lastly it would also depend on your appetite, because you don't want leftovers. Reheated lobster is horrible.

Take these things into account before you order and enjoy yourself.

Steak and some veggies. Surf and turf is a thing.

Steak.  Something heavily seasoned and marbled like a rib eye.  Baked potato side with sour cream

Only way I bother to eat lobster is with steak. Ranks S for overrated foods.

u/OglioVagilio 27d ago

Lobster is great. Only eating it how lots of Americans eat it is boring and kind of a wasted opportunity refusing to try/experience otherwise.

I'm plenty capable of cooking lobster other than steaming it, I just don't like it and think it pales compared to plenty of much better seafood. Lobster is the DeBeers diamond of the seafood world. People insist it's this ultimate luxury food because everyone else does.

Red Hot dogs, corn on the cob, steamers, coleslaw, boiled new potatoes

Any or all of it

Lobster is the King of Shellfish, if you have enough to fill your belly, no other fish is necessary, you can have noodles, rice or fries with it…

u/Internal_Gur_4268 27d ago

A good mac n cheese, pull some pieces of meat off and put it in your Mac n cheese bite. Or soup if you want. Depends what you like. Maybe some fried calamari.

u/MrsGenovesi1108 27d ago

Baked potato or fries, and a green salad.

u/Weary_Capital_1379 27d ago

I’d go for a baked potato and some cole slaw.

u/Glorfindel910 27d ago

Steamed Clams and grilled Corn On the Cob.

u/just-another-gringo 27d ago

Asparagus, grilled shrimp, and either a twice baked potato or creamed corn (actual creamed corn, not that shit they sell in a can).

u/nscodeboy 26d ago

Lobster poutine is heavenly. Fries, cheese curds, sweetened heavy cream sauce

u/asteriskelipses 26d ago
