Red Lobster’s Fried Lobster and Waffles Are a Waste of Good Crustacean. The seafood chain’s attempt to riff on a brunch favorite is a waste of good ingredients.

Red Lobster is trying to make fried lobster and waffles a thing. ... Lobster and waffles will debut at Red Lobster, which recently celebrated its 50th anniversary, on March 26.

The lobster is cut into bite-sized pieces, shell on, and quickly fried in a wok. It’s a vivid red with the faintest sheen of what I imagine is butter.

Prices: Appetizers from $12 for fried green tomatoes to $18 for fried lobster bites. Mains from $24 for “veggie Rasta pasta” to $42 for Southern-fried lobster with mac and cheese.
