Deep Fried Lobster Bites image

We love lobster and absolutely loved this recipe. The tempura batter is flavorful and not overly heavy. Serve at a New Year's Eve party and impress your guests! Be careful not to over fry your lobster - it will become tough.

I'm allergic to lobster, so I can't comment on the taste of these bites. However, they looked delicious and everyone else at the party seemed to enjoy them.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. The lobster bites were good, but not great. I probably wouldn't make them again.

These lobster bites were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my lobster bites didn't turn out crispy at all. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These lobster bites were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more seasoning next time.

These lobster bites were a bit more work than I expected, but they were definitely worth it. They were so good that I'll definitely be making them again.

I've made this recipe several times and it always turns out great. The lobster bites are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
