Red Lobster || Fresh fish, Live lobster

Greetings! Here's (yet) another post about food, just because (그냥~ ㅋ)! :) So I went to Red Lobster yesterday after knowing they are offering a special, limited dine-in dish called the Seafood Trios. So what it is, basically, is a dish of 3 different "types" of food from a selection of menus, for a sweet deal of $18.99 plus tax & tips*.

*Canada rate.
Here's the menu for the seafood trio:


Like any other fancy restaurants, Red Lobster greeted us with some appetizers- their Signature biscuits. They were absolutely gorgeous and mind you, they can be really filling, so don't eat up the entire basket (unless you are sharing with others) before you have your main.


Crispy and topped with well-salted garlic cheese spread.

After the (unlimited) appetizer comes the salad of your choice:
The traditional Caesar salad or Garden salad (of all kinds of dressings of your choice as well).


Traditional Caesar Salad.


Italian dressing- Garden Salad.

Well of course by the look of it, before the meal came, my tummy was pretty much satisfied. BUT, the main was the highlight, so I still had to try at least some of it. Of course, it was a seafood restaurant & I was there just for that, so I went all-out with the NEWs- Almond-Crusted Fire-Grilled Salmon, Crispy Coconut Chili-Ginger Shrimp, and Spicy Shrimp Linguini Fra Diavolo.


Looks good, eh? Tastes EVEN BETTER!


Almond-Crusted Fire-Grilled Salmon.
Very cripsy almonds topped on the well marinated salmon.
Also a good match with the herbed rice!


Crispy Coconut Chili-Ginger Shrimp.
Mm, one of the best shrimps I've ever tried! The coconut was perfectly coated in the batter and the pineapple relish complimented the breaded shrimps so well.


Spicy Shrimp Linguini Fra Diavolo.
Fantastic, hot and spicy, mouth-watering pasta. 
Very filling, however, considering there's rice with the salmon on the same dish.


Another combination.
Almond-Crusted Fire-Grilled Salmon- Garlic Shrimp - Lobster Mac and Cheese


Lobster Mac and Cheese.
This dish is extremely rich and creamy! If you are a cheese-lover, this is definitely for you!

Overall, it was a wonderful experience as my tummy was SUPER satisfied! I was super satisfied too! I couldn't finish mine unfortunately (because I ate that whole plate of salad + 2 biscuits prior to the meal), but take away was fine & I packed it for lunch today! Our very kind server had also brought 4 biscuits for us to-go because well, it was unlimited!

Unfortunately, Red Lobster is only having this deal till the 25th of May. So if you are a seafood lover, I urge you to go give it a try! :) There are 2 locations in Ottawa:
