Red Lobster® Celebrates Everything Lobster With The Return Of Lobsterfest®

Orlando, Fla. (January 28, 2019) – Red Lobster® welcomes back its annual Lobsterfest® event, featuring the largest selection of lobster dishes available all year. For a limited time, guests can choose from exciting options including NEW! Lobster in Paradise® featuring a crispy coconut Maritime lobster tail, as well as classic favourites, like the Lobster Lover's Dream®, this year featuring a butter-poached Maritime lobster tail alongside a roasted rock lobster tail and lobster and shrimp linguini.

“Lobsterfest is one of our guests’ favourite events because there are so many different preparations and combinations of lobster to enjoy – more than any other time of the year,” said Chef Dustin Hilinski, Executive Chef and Director of Culinary at Red Lobster. “Our new butter-poached lobster is cooked to a sweet, tender buttery perfection for a melt-in-your mouth bite every time. For those who prefer a more indulgent option, the crispy coconut-fried lobster tail delivers the perfect crunch with just the right amount of sweet.”

The full Lobsterfest menu features indulgent new combinations that are sure to delight every lobster lover as well as guest-favourites, including:
