    What to Serve with Lobster

    This is a tasty list of what sides to eat with lobster.  Many of these side dishes are also great to serve with lobster tails, lobster rolls, or any other lobster main dish or sandwich. In reality, all of these sides can be made to eat with any seafood but I highly recommend them all to eat with lobster. There is a variety of side dish options that include low-carb, gluten-free, grain-free, low-calorie, healthy, keto, and dairy-free.

    To help you decide what to serve with lobster, I have broken down the list into some subcategories. So based on what you are serving as your main dish lobster recipe, there is something for every meal.  This list includes the best of what to make and serve with a whole lobster, lobster tails, and lobster rolls:
