Grilling Lobster Tails: Fresh from the East Coast to Your BBQ

Recipes

Looking to level up your next BBQ? Few things impress like perfectly grilled Atlantic lobster tails—sweet, tender, and bursting with flavour. And when you start with flash frozen raw lobster tails from The Lobster Mobsters, you’re getting peak freshness that tastes like it just came off the boat.

Our lobster tails are caught off the East Coast, expertly prepared, and flash frozen raw to lock in all that delicate ocean sweetness. This method seals in freshness so when you defrost and grill them, it’s like the catch of the day—no matter when you’re cooking

Why Lobster Tails Are Perfect for the Grill

Lobster tails are quick, easy to handle, and perfect for both casual BBQs and elegant summer dinners. They deliver all the indulgence of lobster with simpler prep and plating—plus, they look amazing right off the grill.

How to Grill Lobster Tails Like a Pro

  1. Thaw Properly for Best Results
    Place frozen lobster tails in the fridge overnight or submerge them in cold water for faster thawing. Avoid hot water or microwaving—slow, cold thawing keeps the meat tender.
  2. Prep for the Grill
    Using kitchen shears, cut the top shell lengthwise and gently lift the meat slightly out for that restaurant-style presentation. Brush with olive oil or melted butter.
  3. Grill with Care
    Preheat your grill to medium-high. Place tails shell-side down for 5–6 minutes. Flip briefly to sear the meat side for 1–2 minutes if desired.
  4. Keep It Simple
    Lobster shines with minimal seasoning. A garlic butter with lemon juice, sea salt, and fresh parsley is all you need. Brush it on during grilling and again just before serving.

Serving Ideas

Grilled lobster tails pair perfectly with corn on the cob, fresh summer salads, or even alongside a juicy steak for a classic surf & turf. You can also chop the grilled meat into pasta, tacos, or lobster rolls for a twist.
