Long John Silver's announced that it is bringing back its fan-favorite 'Lobster Bites' menu item, following demand from fans. The Lobster Bites were first introduced in 2021 as a bites-sized appetizer featuring sweet Norway Lobster tail coated in savory breading and lightly fried to the customers' enjoyment. The item was popular during its limited run, leading to it being brought back for an encore.
The Lobster Bites are now available as part of an appetizer pack, a full combo, a larger platter, or a family-sized meal. Each combo size offers customers a different amount of Lobster Bites and add-ons, such as drinks, chicken tenders, batter-dipped fried fish, and more. However, the Lobster Bites are sure to be the main attraction in each combo.
The Long John Silver's Lobster Bites are available at participating locations for a limited time.
