Aldi’s Lobster Tails are back and this time from Australia. Have bought them previously and were fantastic. Made lobster rolls with them every year and the family loved them, enjoy 👍

This is one of my preferred recipes https://www.foodiecrush.com/lobster-rolls/

    Tried this one year and tasted disgusting…

      Are you sure you bought the lobster tail and not something else?

      I second that. The quality of the lobster tails was pretty bad and disgusting. People can't taste the issue?

      Too crunchy.

    Roughly how many rolls from each of these aldi packs? This would be 13 ounces so just short of the 16 ounces in that recipe? I wish the yanks would get with the metric system, no wonder their rockets keep crashing

    • tritorius on 13/11/2024 - 11:19

      The recipe says to use 1/4lb per roll, which is 115g. So taking the shell into account, these Aldi packs would likely have enough meat for 2 Rolls

    … from Australia as in made in Australia? If so, will try.

    • bedlamau on 13/11/2024 - 11:02

      The box says "Made in Australia from <10% Australian ingredients", which probably means the garlic butter. It claims they're "wild caught" from "Major Fishing Area 41", which is the Atlantic coast of South America.

      • Gravy on 13/11/2024 - 11:31

        Wow… that's very different from the "Made in Australia" in their product description, leaving out that critical detail. It's also odd how companies are allowed to use "less than" in their ingredients desciptions it may be 0.01% Aussie ingredients for all we know.

        • MomentOfTruss on 13/11/2024 - 13:40

          My favorite description is still made from local or imported ingredients.

          Don't you hate it when your food isn't made with neither local or important ingredients.

    Still $92/kg

    Doesnt seem especially cheap

    • NotReallyaMoneySaver on 13/11/2024 - 10:43

      I thought that said $3.99 and I thought this was an amazing deal… Too bad it's the 10x the price lmao. Very expensive but worth getting a cop?

      • yuisakas on 13/11/2024 - 11:42

        If its $3.99 you have to use a stronger word than just amazing

        • kiitos on 13/11/2024 - 13:41

          "lobsterrific"?

      If you take head out of weight it is ok

      If that the case try a proper restaurant lobster so you have some benchmark, if you try this first you might be disappointed. I try this before, its not bad but not same class as “lobster” that you think of.

      • kiitos on 13/11/2024 - 13:43

        Wouldn't is be the other way around? Try this first without having something better/pricier for it to be compared too (presumably poorly)

        • huu on 13/11/2024 - 13:49

          try this first the assume all lobster is like this and never try again that what i mean. Ruins first experience of trying lobster? Basically what i am trying to say is lobster dont taste like this 😂

          • kiitos on 13/11/2024 - 14:59

            @huu: Ah, OK, also sensible.

      • Sillen on 13/11/2024 - 17:57

        If you're in Melbourne, have lobster with a mobster*

      Think of the most succulent juicy BBq prawn you have ever eaten. That is what a good lobster would taste like.

      Think of a prawn that was boiled. That is what this will taste like.

  • clover on 13/11/2024 - 11:04

    Woolworths normally sells lobster tails for 9 dollars each. I dont think garlic and butter cost that much extra.

    • Clear on 13/11/2024 - 11:06

      Yeah but it's Aldi and their deals are "limited" unlike everyone else so they're allowed to sell at normal price.

  • qq830821 on 13/11/2024 - 11:09

    frozen lobsters taste awful, its the garlic and butter that make this one taste nice.

  • obfuscated on 13/11/2024 - 11:12

    How are these? Heard frozen lobster tails can turn out mushy.

    Had these…not a fan.

    • kiitos on 13/11/2024 - 13:44

      No, you'd probably need at least 6 of the tails to make a fan.

    Ahh I remember the good old covid days where you could buy a fresh(ish) lobster at Woolies for a lobster ($20)

    • abuch47 on 13/11/2024 - 14:50

      they do it every year around Christmas but the quality was poor in my experience

  • R4 on 13/11/2024 - 12:57

    I'm not on the bones of my arse financially, but $35 for a bit of imported lobster is a bit steep IMO. But each to their own.

  • prankster on 13/11/2024 - 13:13

    going by Op link https://www.foodiecrush.com/lobster-rolls/
    to make it like this roll, where or how do you buy these specific rolls? its so nice and fluffy - i dont think its easy to buy these at woolies/aldi is it?

    • kiitos on 13/11/2024 - 13:45

      They look similar to brioche rolls, which are buttery and somewhat sweet, so you could look for those.

  • 9hundred on 13/11/2024 - 14:32

    frozen yuck!

  • morse on 13/11/2024 - 14:35

    Works out at $92/kg and presumably some of that weight is the garlic butter. I would personally go WA lobsters if I wanted lobster and was spending that much. But then I never really go for lobsters now as I much prefer Moreton Bay Bugs or Balmain Bugs. My local fish shop is doing raw MBBugs for $39/kg, Cooked $59/kg or Balmain for $29/kg cooked. The garlic butter part is super easy, it's literally just fresh crushed garlic melted into butter.

    IMO if you try bugs you won't want to go back to lobster and they are cheaper too. Perfect for rolls, but I just have them on their own the garlic butter and salad. So yum!

    • kiitos on 13/11/2024 - 15:01

      Do you cook your own bugs? Is it tricky with timing?

      • morse on 13/11/2024 - 15:23
        +1

        I usually buy the cooked ones, split them in half, take out the digestive tract and innards, put them open side down on a hot pan (or bbq) for a minute or so until it's warm and slightly brown, then pour over the garlic butter and sprinkle with chopped parsley

        I've also done this with fresh ones and it works out well
        https://mattmoran.com.au/recipes/moreton-bay-bugs-with-herb-…

        They don't take long to cook and like prawns they are better not over cooked, but I find them more forgiving than either lobsters or prawn. The meat is very sweet and have a great texture.

        We have them every year as part of our christmas lunch and they are my favourite part of lunch. We stopped getting prawns at christmas because if you eat them side by side, the prawns are so meh, compared to the bugs.

        I should probably stop telling people how great they are so prices don't go up.

    • RtN on 13/11/2024 - 15:31

      You'd have to do the shell weight to meat analysis to fully understand cost per kg.
