Long John Silver's Lobster Bites Recipe

Long John Silver's Lobster Bites are back on the menu, bringing a touch of the ocean's sweetness with every bite. You can recreate these flavorful nuggets at home, pairing the sweetness of lobster tail with a light, buttery breading that'll transport you straight to the coast. One trick for that signature crunch is double-dipping your lobster pieces in the batter before frying. This dish is a favorite of mine because it offers a perfect blend of succulence and crispy texture that'll have everyone reaching for more!
