Red Lobster Seafood Boils Menu: Prices & Flavors (2026)

By Alex Rivera, Lead Menu Researcher | Updated August 2026 | Last verified September 2026

Red Lobster’s Seafood Boils Menu pairs shrimp, snow crab legs, Maine lobster tail, corn on the cob, red potatoes, and smoked sausage in a shake-and-serve bag finished with your choice of seasoning: Old Bay, garlic butter, or Cajun butter. The current official lineup includes four boils: the Sailor’s Seafood Boil, the Mariner’s Seafood Boil, and family sized versions of each, which serve 4 to 5 people and are available for To Go or delivery only. Prices generally fall between $28.99 and $99.99 depending on size, but exact pricing isn’t published nationally. Red Lobster shows pricing only after you enter a delivery location, so figures vary by restaurant. Always confirm with your nearest location or check the official seafood boils menu before ordering.

What Is a Red Lobster Seafood Boil?

Red Lobster’s seafood boil takes the traditional Southern seafood boil, the shrimp, corn, potatoes, and sausage feast usually poured out on butcher paper, and serves it in a sealed, steaming bag instead. You shake the bag at the table to coat everything in butter and seasoning, then tear it open and dig in family style.

*Red Lobster does not publish national pricing. The official site only shows exact prices once you select a delivery location, which is why figures differ across sources. Treat the numbers above as a general estimate and confirm current pricing with your local restaurant or the official menu before ordering.

Note on substitutions: The Mariner’s Seafood Boil is explicitly listed as no substitutions on Red Lobster’s official page, and crab is wild caught, so availability can shift with supply. Don’t assume you can swap ingredients. Ask your server if you’re unsure.

Seafood Boil Flavor Options

Seasoning is typically chosen when you order and shaken through the bag before serving. Commonly available options include:

• Classic Old Bay: the traditional, peppery boil seasoning
• Roasted Garlic Butter: rich and savory, milder heat
• Cajun Butter: bold and spicy
• Some locations and seasonal menus have also featured Lemon Pepper Butter and other rotating flavors

Flavor availability can vary by location and season, so it’s worth asking what’s currently offered when you order.

Dine-In, To Go & Delivery

• Dine-in: The individual Sailor’s and Mariner’s boils are available for dine-in at participating locations.
• To Go: All four boils, including the family meals, can be ordered for pickup.
• Delivery: Available through Red Lobster’s own site and app, as well as major third party delivery platforms. Fees and availability vary by location.
• Family meals are To Go and delivery only. They are not served dine-in. See our full Family Meals guide for larger group options beyond the boils.

What’s Included in a Red Lobster Seafood Boil

Based on Red Lobster’s own menu descriptions, the boils are built from:

• Shrimp, see our shrimp menu guide for other shrimp dishes if this isn’t quite what you’re after
• Snow crab legs (Mariner’s boils)
• Maine lobster tail (Mariner’s boils)
• Smoked sausage (Sailor’s boils)
• Corn on the cob
• Red potatoes
• Butter based seasoning (Old Bay, garlic butter, or Cajun butter)

Some general seafood boil guides mention crawfish, mussels, clams, or king crab as boil ingredients. Those aren’t confirmed as part of Red Lobster’s specific menu, so don’t expect them unless a location specifically advertises them.

Calories & Nutrition

Calorie counts vary by flavor, portion, and any sides ordered. As a general range across public estimates:

• Sailor’s Seafood Boil: roughly 2,100 to 3,000 calories
• Mariner’s Seafood Boil: roughly 1,400 to 2,400 calories
• Family Meals: figures scale with the 4 to 5 servings they’re designed for, so divide by portion count for a per person estimate

For a full breakdown by dish, see our nutrition guide, and check Red Lobster’s official nutritional information for exact, official numbers. If anyone in your party has a shellfish allergy or other dietary restriction, review our ingredients and allergens guide before ordering.

Are Seafood Boils Healthy?

Seafood boils can fit into a balanced diet in moderation. The seafood itself, shrimp, crab, and lobster, is a lean, high quality protein source rich in selenium, zinc, vitamin B12, and heart healthy omega-3 fatty acids. What pushes the calorie and sodium counts up is mainly the butter based seasoning and, on the Sailor’s Boil, the smoked sausage. If you’re watching sodium or fat intake, ask about a lighter seasoning option or request the sauce on the side.

First-Time Guest Tips

• Start with a milder seasoning if you’re not sure how spicy you like it. Cajun butter can run hot.
• Ask for extra napkins or gloves. Boils are meant to be a hands-on, messy meal.
• Use fresh lemon to cut through the richness of the butter sauce.
• Family meals are built for sharing. One family size boil is usually more cost effective than ordering several individual boils for a group.
• Reheat leftovers gently, steaming or low oven heat. Seafood turns rubbery if microwaved too long or too hot.
