FAQs
Is Lobster Bisque a low-calorie or low-fat option?

Is the bisque made with real lobster pieces?
Yes, the Lobster Bisque contains real pieces of lobster meat. The deep flavor comes from cooking lobster shells with vegetables and herbs to make a rich stock.

Why is the sodium content so high in the Lobster Bisque?
The sodium is high (about 1860 mg, or 78% of the daily limit) because of ingredients like salted butter, seasonings, and seafood stock (or clam juice) used in the base.
