Red Lobster Seafood Boil Menu 2026: Prices, Calories & Flavor Options
A steaming bag of shrimp, crab legs, lobster tails, corn on the cob, and smoky sausage, all glistening with buttery Cajun seasoning. That’s the Red Lobster Seafood Boil, and it’s the dish that’s been bringing people back to the iconic chain in 2025 and 2026.
The seafood boil lineup arrived as part of Red Lobster’s broader recovery push after its 2024 bankruptcy restructuring. Under new leadership, the chain rolled out the Sailor’s and Mariner’s Seafood Boils during its summer Crabfest promotion — and the internet took notice. The shake-and-serve bag presentation quickly spread across Instagram and TikTok, turning a classic Southern-style boil into a must-try moment for casual diners.

What Is a Red Lobster Seafood Boil, Exactly?
A seafood boil traces back centuries to Southern and Cajun coastal traditions in Louisiana, the Carolinas, and along the Gulf Coast. The original idea is straightforward — combine fresh shellfish, vegetables, and seasoning in one large pot of boiling water and let the flavors come together into a deeply satisfying meal.
Red Lobster’s take brings that communal feast experience into a casual dining setting, steaming each boil with smoked sausage, sweet corn on the cob, and new potatoes, then finishing it with a choice of bold seasoning — from classic Old Bay to rich garlic butter.
What sets Red Lobster’s presentation apart is the hot shake-and-serve bag — the seafood, vegetables, and chosen butter sauce all sealed together, shaken tableside to coat every piece in flavor before it hits the plate. It’s interactive, fun, and genuinely satisfying, which explains why it caught on so widely online.
The communal-feast style — usually served in a plastic bag or laid out across a paper-lined tabletop — has gained real momentum in recent years, fueling a wave of newer seafood concepts, and Red Lobster has now joined in.
Red Lobster Seafood Boil Menu 2026: Full Prices & Flavor Guide
Red Lobster currently offers four seafood boil options — two individual portions and two family-style meals. Here’s the full breakdown with current 2026 pricing.
1- New! Sailor's Seafood Boil — $39.99
The entry-level boil, and honestly a favorite among solo diners and couples.
What's included:
- Two dozen tender shrimp
- Sliced smoked sausage
- Halved corn on the cob
- Red potatoes
- Choice of butter sauce
- Served alongside Cheddar Bay Biscuits
The Sailor’s Seafood Boil is priced at $39.99 and comes with two dozen shrimp, smoked sausage, corn, and red potatoes. It’s the more approachable option — enough for one hungry diner or two people sharing. The shrimp take center stage here, soaking up the butter sauce nicely, particularly with the Cajun butter option.
Calories: Roughly 2,600 (Cajun Butter) to 3,040 (Roasted Garlic Butter) per serving.
Real diner’s take: A review from Kelby Hutchison at the Ledger-Enquirer (July 2025) noted the shrimp came out well-cooked — neither rubbery nor underdone — while the smoked sausage carried a strong smoky, slightly salty flavor that took on the Cajun butter and Old Bay seasoning particularly well.
Real diner’s take: A July 2026 review on Lemon8 tried Red Lobster’s seafood boil during its Crab Fest run and singled out Cajun and roasted garlic as the two standout butter seasonings, noting the overall dish held up well against expectations.
2- New! Mariner's Seafood Boil — $54.99
The premium individual boil. If the Sailor’s is a solid coastal dinner, the Mariner’s is a full-on feast.
What's included:
- One Maine lobster tail
- One dozen shrimp
- Snow crab legs
- Corn on the cob
- Red potatoes
- Your choice of butter sauce
- Served with Cheddar Bay Biscuits
The Mariner’s Seafood Boil comes with a Maine lobster tail, a dozen shrimp, snow crab legs, corn, and red potatoes — all served in a hot shake-and-serve bag with a choice of butter sauce flavor.
The lobster tail and snow crab legs are what account for the $15 price jump over the Sailor’s. For serious seafood lovers, this is the version worth ordering — generously portioned, visually striking, and delivering a genuinely upscale feel at a casual-dining price point.
Calories: Roughly 1,880 (Cajun Butter) to 2,320 (Roasted Garlic Butter) per serving. Interestingly, the Mariner’s comes in lower in calories than the Sailor’s — the shrimp-and-sausage combination carries more fat, while the crab and lobster proteins in the Mariner’s are comparatively leaner.
3- Sailor's Seafood Boil Family Meal — $99.99
Built to serve 4 to 5 people, this is the Sailor’s Boil scaled up for group dining.
What's included:
- Maine lobster tails
- Shrimp
- Snow crab legs
- Corn on the cob
- Red potatoes
- Choice of butter sauce
- Eight Cheddar Bay Biscuits
- Available for To-Go or Delivery only
The Sailor’s Seafood Boil Family Meal is a large, family-style seafood spread built to serve 4–5 people. The whole meal is tossed in a choice of butter sauce and served in a “shake-and-serve” bag so every bite gets coated in flavor. It typically comes with 8 Cheddar Bay Biscuits on the side.
At $99.99 for a group of four or five, that works out to roughly $20–25 per person — solid value for a sit-down seafood experience. It’s a strong pick for family nights, group gatherings, or anyone after a serious amount of shrimp.
Note: This item is available for To-Go and Delivery orders only — not for dine-in.
Total Calories: 6,420–9,120 for the full meal (split across 4–5 servings, that comes out to roughly 1,600–2,280 calories per person).
4- Mariner's Seafood Boil Family Meal — $99.99
The premium family option, bringing lobster and crab into the group feast.
What's included:
- Maine lobster tails
