Lobster tails are the luxury cut: all the sweet, meaty tail with none of the work of a whole lobster. These large Canadian tails are perfect for a special-occasion dinner, whether grilled with garlic butter, barbecued or served as surf and turf.
Each pack contains 2 tails, serving 1 to 2 people.
Defrost in the fridge overnight. To butterfly, cut lengthways through the top of the shell with kitchen scissors, gently lift the meat so it sits on top of the shell, and brush with garlic butter. Grill or bake at 220°C until the meat is opaque and firm, roughly 1 minute for every 30g of tail. Take care not to overcook, as lobster toughens quickly.
These tails are packed from our restaurant stock, so occasionally a bag may be only partially sealed. This doesn't affect the quality of the lobster in any way.
All our seafood is frozen to lock in quality from sea to doorstep. Keep frozen until needed and defrost in the fridge before cooking. Free delivery Tuesday to Friday on orders over £75, or collect from us if you're near South Ruislip.
How do I know when it's cooked?
The meat turns from translucent to opaque white and feels firm to the touch. If you have a probe thermometer, aim for about 60°C in the thickest part.
What does butterflying a lobster tail mean?
Cutting through the top of the shell and lifting the meat on top, so it cooks evenly and looks impressive on the plate.
