Outstanding Lobster and Crab Salads Plus Homemade Ice Cream

A taste test of the healthiest and most sinfully sweet menu items at Lobster West in Encinitas.

Lobster West, located at 765 S. Coast Highway, opened July 11 and already has quite a loyal following.

The lobster tail salad is amazing! It's one of the most simple salads I've ever had with only four ingredients (including the lobster tails), and comes with a delicious butter-based dressing. It's a bit spendy at $16, but the lobster is worth the splurge.

My friend who ordered the colassal lump crab salad ($15) said it was also really good. 

For dessert we each tried the "award-winning local Mariposa ice cream" in white chocolate raspberry and peanut butter fudge flavors. Both were a great way to end the meal of salads. Each cup is $4.
