CRABFEST® IS BACK AT RED LOBSTER®

Limited-time Event Features the Largest Selection of Crab Options

Orlando, Fla. (July 11, 2016) – Red Lobster’s Crabfest is back! For a limited time, guests can enjoy the largest variety of crab dishes ever offered on the menu, including four types of wild-caught crab, new crab preparations and new seafood combinations. With more crab choices than ever before, there’s a perfect option for everyone.

 

Guests who love crab legs can enjoy the NEW! Alaska Bairdi Crab Legs Dinner – a generous portion of premium, wild-caught Alaska Bairdi crab legs, served with a full ear of Chesapeake-grilled corn on the cob. For those that like a variety of preparations and different types of crab on the plate, the NEW! Crab Lover’s Dream™ is the perfect choice, featuring wild-caught North American snow crab legs and king crab legs, paired with Red Lobster’s signature crab linguini Alfredo. Or, crab cake lovers can dive in to the NEW! Jumbo Lump Crab Cake Dinner – three premium lump crab cakes featuring blue crab, paired with Meyer lemon aioli.

 

Alaska Sockeye and Coho salmon, fresh from the waters of Bristol Bay, Sandy Point and Prince William Sound in Alaska, complement the Crabfest menu. These species can be paired with the NEW! Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes & Crab-Topped Salmon dish or simply grilled on Red Lobster’s wood-fire grill.

Guests will see the Alaska Seafood logo on Red Lobster’s menus next to the wild-caught Alaska crab and salmon options. This logo affirms Red Lobster’s long-standing support of sustainable fisheries and its commitment to protecting Alaska’s superior seafood for future generations. This is an extension of Red Lobster’s tradition of providing quality seafood to guests while maintaining sustainable fishing practices and seafood quality assurance.

This year, Red Lobster is also celebrating the fishing boats and crews that help supply crab to its restaurants, including the Deadliest Catch™ fleet. Guests can toast the fleet with the NEW! Rogue Wave drink, featuring Sauza Gold tequila, blue curacao and house margarita mix topped with a splash of ginger ale and served on the rocks in a commemorative Red Lobster mason jar with the Deadliest Catch™ logo. Produced by Original Productions, Deadliest Catch can be seen on Discovery Channel.
