The Best Side Dishes to Serve with Lobster—Just Don't Forget the Butter

When lobster season rolls around, there's really only one thing to do: host a boil. While many down South will choose crawfish, we're here to pay homage to the lobster. Lobster often isn't an everyday main, so it can be a challenge to decide what to serve alongside this special meal. While we love a succulent, juicy lobster tail (dripping in butter, please), the meal is not quite complete without the right side. So, if you're looking for sides to go with lobster, you're not in want of options. Our side dishes to serve with lobster are so good, we'd wager they might outshine the crustacean himself. From Foil-Pack Clams with White Wine and Herbs to the humble (but beloved) macaroni and cheese, potato salad, and corn on the cob, these are the best side dishes for lobster—tail and all. Just please, please don't forget the butter. Extra points if it's herbed.
