With many fast food brands rolling out their inventive seafood offerings for the 2018 Lent season, the Japanese chain Yoshinoya has kicked things up a notch with a new Lobster Stew.
Yoshinoya's new Lobster Stew is a warm and comforting seafood dish available for just a limited time. The dish itself consists of a tomato-based broth mixed with fish, corn, celery, lobster, potatoes, and a mild blend of herbs and spices. The stew is then served over a bed of rice to create a warm and hearty dish.
Alongside the new Lobster Stew, the chain is also serving up Sweet Chili Shrimp, which is tossed with a spicy Asian chili sauce, and Grilled Tilapia, which is served with rice and a rich lemon butter sauce.
