What Is the Sailor’s Platter?
The Sailor’s Platter is one of the mix-and-match combo plates on Red Lobster’s Signature Feasts menu, the same lineup that includes the Ultimate Feast and Admiral’s Feast. Instead of committing to one style, perfect bt give em an overview: caught flounder fillet, all on a single plate with a side of Chesapeake fries.
It’s built for people who can’t decide between fried and saucy seafood — the plate covers both in smaller portions rather than one large serving of a single dish.
Sailor’s Platter Price
Pricing for the Sailor’s Platter isn’t fixed nationwide. Red Lobster’s official menu lists a base price of $20.99, but real order data from different locations shows it running as high as $27.59 — with the higher end typically showing up on delivery or takeout orders, where platform fees and location-specific pricing can push the total up.
A few things that move the price at your local Red Lobster:
- Dine-in vs. delivery/takeout delivery orders tend to run a few dollars higher.
- Location — Red Lobster sets menu prices by market, so a plate in a higher cost-of-living area will cost more.
- Side swaps picking a premium side like Bacon Mac & Cheese, Creamy Lobster Mashed Potatoes, or Crispy Brussels Sprouts adds $3.59–$7.79 to the base price.
Because pricing shifts by location and time, treat any number here as a starting estimate and check your local Red Lobster menu or app before ordering.
What Comes With the Sailor’s Platter
The base plate includes:
- Garlic Shrimp Scampi
- Popcorn Shrimp
- Crispy Wild-Caught Flounder
- Chesapeake Fries (default side, swappable)
Most locations let you swap the default fries for a different side at no extra charge, or upgrade to a premium side for an added cost. Here’s the full side lineup:
| Side Option | Extra Cost |
| Seasoned Broccoli | Included |
| Orzo Rice | Included |
| Chesapeake Fries | Included |
| Coleslaw | Included |
| Hush Puppies | Included |

You can also add extra proteins to the meal — options like Snow Crab Legs (1/2 lb) at $14.49, Bacon-Wrapped Sea Scallops at $11.49, or Grilled Shrimp at $6.99 — if you want to turn the platter into a bigger spread.
Calories & Nutrition
The Sailor’s Platter comes in at 1,910 calories with the default Chesapeake fries side. That figure will shift depending on the side and any add-ons you choose:
- Swapping to Seasoned Broccoli or a salad will bring the total down noticeably.
- Adding a beverage like regular Pepsi adds about 150 calories; a Diet Pepsi or unsweetened iced tea adds close to zero.
- Adding extra protein, like scallops (220 cal) or grilled shrimp (250 cal), raises the total further.
If you’re watching calories, the easiest adjustment is the side — it has the biggest swing of any single choice on the plate.
Sailor’s Platter vs. Admiral’s Feast
These two get mixed up often since both are fried-and-mixed seafood combos. The difference comes down to variety and portion:
- Sailor’s Platter: three items (scampi, popcorn shrimp, flounder) — a mid-size lunch portion.
- Admiral’s Feast: a larger, all-fried combo that typically includes shrimp, scallops, clams, and fish — built more for dinner-size appetites.
If you want a lighter meal with some variety in cooking style (fried and scampi), the Sailor’s Platter is the better fit. If you want a bigger, all-fried seafood spread, the Admiral’s Feast is the closer match.
Is the Sailor’s Platter Still on the Menu?
Yes — as of 2026, the Sailor’s Platter is still listed under Red Lobster’s Signature Feasts section. Unlike weekday lunch specials, Signature Feasts aren’t restricted to a lunch window, so it’s available whenever the restaurant is open, and it’s not a limited-time item like Crabfest or Lobsterfest, so it stays on the menu year-round (though individual restaurants can vary their exact lineup).
How to Order
The Sailor’s Platter is available for dine-in, takeout, and delivery through Red Lobster’s website, app, and major delivery platforms. If you’re ordering for pickup or delivery, double-check the listed price on your specific order — as noted above, delivery pricing typically runs a bit higher than what you’d pay dining in.

What comes in a fisherman’s platter?
“Fisherman’s platter” isn’t a specific Red Lobster item — it’s a general seafood-restaurant term, most often used for a fried combo of fish, shrimp, and clams or scallops, usually served with fries and coleslaw. The closest match on Red Lobster’s own menu is the Admiral’s Feast, its all-fried mixed seafood platter.
Does Red Lobster give seniors a discount?
There’s no single, company-wide senior discount listed in Red Lobster’s official policies. That said, many individual locations do offer a discretionary 10–15% discount for guests 55 and older, usually for dine-in orders only and not combinable with other deals or promotions. Since it varies by restaurant, the safest move is to call your local Red Lobster or ask your server before ordering.
What does Red Lobster serve for lunch?
Red Lobster’s Lunch menu features lighter, lunch-portioned versions of popular seafood dishes — think Walt’s Favorite Shrimp, Garlic Shrimp Scampi, and Crispy Wild-Caught Flounder, along with soup-and-salad combos. Bigger combo plates like the Sailor’s Platter live on the separate Signature Feasts menu and are available any time the restaurant is open, not just during lunch hours. Lunch pricing generally runs a few dollars lower than the same or similar dishes on the dinner menu, and lunch service typically runs on weekdays from around 11 AM to 3 PM.
Final Thoughts
The Sailor’s Platter is one of the more practical picks on Red Lobster’s lunch menu if you want a taste of a few different seafood styles without ordering multiple entrées. Just keep in mind that price and calories will shift a bit based on your location and the sides you choose so it’s worth checking your local menu before you order.
