Calories
The Cold Water Lobster Tails at Bonefish Grill typically contain around 250 – 350 calories per tail, depending on the size and the amount of butter or sauce used in preparation. If served with the typical lemon butter sauce, the calorie content may be on the higher end due to the added fats from the butter.
Ingredients
- Cold Water Lobster Tails: The main ingredient, cold water lobster tails are harvested from lobsters living in the cold, deep waters of the Atlantic Ocean. These lobsters are typically known for their firmer texture and sweeter flavor compared to those caught in warmer waters. The tails are usually pre-cooked and then butter-poached or grilled at Bonefish Grill.
- Lemon Butter Sauce: Cold water lobster tails are often served with a lemon butter sauce, made from butter, lemon juice, garlic, and sometimes herbs. This sauce helps to enhance the sweetness of the lobster and adds richness to the dish.
- Lemon Wedges: Fresh lemon wedges are often served with the lobster tails to add a bright, acidic contrast to the rich, buttery flavor of the lobster.
- Optional Seasoning: Depending on the preparation, the lobster tails may be seasoned with salt, pepper, and a few other herbs or spices. However, the seasoning tends to be subtle, allowing the natural sweetness of the lobster to shine through.

Allergens
- Shellfish: Lobster is a type of shellfish, so this dish is not suitable for individuals with a shellfish allergy.
- Dairy: The lemon butter sauce contains dairy, making this dish unsuitable for those with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance.
- Gluten: The lobster itself is naturally gluten-free, but you should check if any sauces or side dishes contain gluten. If you have a gluten sensitivity, it’s best to ask the server for gluten-free sauce options or to have the sauce served on the side.
- Soy: Some sauces or marinades used in preparation may contain soy, so it’s important to inquire if you have a soy allergy.
Recommendations
- For a lighter option: The lobster tails can be served grilled instead of butter-poached to reduce the calorie count and fat content. Requesting the lemon butter sauce on the side can also allow you to control how much you add to the dish. Pairing the lobster with a fresh house salad or steamed vegetables will keep the meal light and refreshing.
- For an indulgent meal: For a more indulgent experience, enjoy the lobster tails with the full lemon butter sauce. Pairing it with garlic mashed potatoes or crispy Brussels sprouts will complement the richness of the lobster. A side of garlic bread or asparagus can also add to the luxurious feel of the meal.
- Pairing Suggestions:
- Wine Pairing: A Chardonnay would complement the richness of the lobster tails, especially when paired with lemon butter sauce, as it has a smooth, buttery flavor that pairs well with seafood. A Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc would also be a good choice, offering a crisp, citrusy contrast to the sweetness of the lobster.
- Sides: Garlic mashed potatoes, steamed asparagus, or a shaved Brussels sprouts salad are all great options that pair well with lobster. If you want to keep things light, you can choose a seasonal vegetable medley or a side salad for a fresh and healthy balance.
- For a gluten-free option: Since the lobster is naturally gluten-free, you can ask for gluten-free sauces or preparations. Bonefish Grill typically offers gluten-free options, so ask your server to make sure the dish and sides are suitable for your dietary needs.
- For heart-healthy benefits: Lobster is a great source of lean protein and is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which can benefit heart health. To make the meal even more heart-healthy, request grilled lobster and pair it with a lighter side like steamed vegetables or a salad.
