FAQs: Your Lobster Questions, Answered
Q: Can I use frozen lobster tails?
A: Yes—but thaw overnight in the fridge first. Never fry frozen!
Q: What oil is best for frying?
A: Peanut or canola—high smoke point and neutral flavor.
Q: Why cornstarch instead of flour?
A: Cornstarch creates a lighter, crisper, less greasy crust that stays crunchy longer.
Q: Can I bake or air fry instead?
A: You can—but you won’t get the same shatteringly crisp texture. For air fryer: 400°F for 8–10 minutes, spritzed with oil.
Q: How do I know when it’s done?
A: Meat turns opaque white, reaches 140°F internally, and the coating is deep golden.
