Warm Water Lobster Tails
Warm waters LobsterTails are a delicacy, known for their sweet, tender, and slightly richer flavor compared to their cold-water counterparts. These lobsters come from warmer ocean waters, such as those around the Caribbean or the Gulf of Mexico, and their meat is typically more succulent and slightly firmer.
An 8oz Lobster Tail is a generous serving, offering a satisfying amount of sweet, buttery lobster meat. These lobster tails are perfect for grilling, broiling, or baking. One popular way to prepare them is by butterflying the tail (cutting the shell open) and then brushing the meat with a garlic butter mixture before cooking. This allows the meat to cook evenly while absorbing the rich flavors of the butter and any other seasonings you choose.
Lobster tails can be paired with lemon, herbs like parsley, or a side of drawn butter for dipping. They go wonderfully with sides like mashed potatoes, grilled vegetables, or a light pasta.
🔥 Cooking Tips for 8 oz Warm Water Lobster Tails
To achieve a succulent lobster tail, consider the following cooking methods:
-

-
Broiling: Preheat your broiler. Place the split lobster tail on a baking sheet, brush with melted butter, and broil for 1 minute per ounce of tail weight, approximately 8–10 minutes for an 8 oz tail, until the meat is opaque and firm.​
-
Boiling: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lobster tail and cook for 1 minute per ounce, approximately 8–10 minutes for an 8 oz tail, until the meat is opaque and firm.​
-
Baking: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the split lobster tail on a baking sheet, brush with melted butter, and bake for 1 minute per ounce, approximately 8–10 minutes for an 8 oz tail, until the meat is opaque and firm.​
