The grilled lemon-tarragon lobster was good, but not as amazing as I was expecting. The marinade was flavorful, but the grilling process seemed to dry out the lobster meat a bit. I think I would have preferred to cook it in a more moist environment,

I had some trouble finding fresh tarragon, so I used dried tarragon instead. The flavor was still good, but I think fresh tarragon would have been even better. Otherwise, the recipe was easy to follow and the lobster turned out great.

The grilled lemon-tarragon lobster was good, but I found the marinade a bit too overpowering. It masked the delicate flavor of the lobster somewhat. Next time, I'll use a lighter marinade or reduce the marinating time.
