Does Aldi have a seafood boil?
Yes, Aldi does have a seafood boil! However, Aldi's in stock options vary. Aldi has always-in-stock items, seasonal items, and weekly special-buys (also known as Aldi Finds). The seafood boil is considered an Aldi Find so it is available for a limited time during a specific period. Once your local Aldi store runs out of the product, it will not be available again until it is re-released according to Aldi's product release schedule. Based on Aldi's previous product release cycles, the seafood boil typically comes out as an Aldi Find around the third week of June.
Is Aldi's seafood boil always in-stock?
Aldi's seafood in a bag is typically available as an Aldi Find item and is released during the summer months. Aldi does release more seafood options during the winter holidays, but seafood boils give "summer vibes." Seafood boils tend to be in higher demand during summer months when people are spending time outdoors so Aldi doesn't sell it during non-summer months. Based on Aldi's previous product release cycles, the seafood boil typically comes out as an Aldi Find around the third week of June.
How do you know if the seafood boil is in stock?
I recommend checking the Aldi website and view the weekly ad to see if it has been released. Another option is to go to instacart.com, select your local Aldi store, and type in "seafood boil" to see if the product populates as an item that is available to purchase.
What kind of seasoning does the seafood boil come with?
Aldi's seafood boil comes with a separately packaged Cajun type of seasoning. Cajun seasoning is popular in the Louisiana area. Seafood boils in general are popular in coastal areas so there can be a lot of variation in ingredients, seasonings, and cooking methods. This specific seafood boil aligns with the flavoring you may find around Louisiana. Cajun seasoning usually contains paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, pepper and oregano. A big complaint is the seasoning packet is extremely salty so keep that in mind when adding the seasoning packet to the seafood mix.

How do you cook Aldi seafood boil?
The seafood boil comes frozen. The packaging directions say the seafood bag will be ready to serve in 10 minutes. Keep in mind, there will be extra time to actually boil the water before adding the seafood mixture to the pot. You simply pour, boil, and add the included seasoning packet. Here are other recipes that you can make with only Aldi ingredients.
Tips for making the seafood boil
- The biggest tip for making the seafood boil is to be aware of the salt content in the seasoning packet. Only add a small amount of seasoning to make sure it doesn't get too salty. If you find out the mixture is too salty, you can try to add some additional cooked potatoes to help balance out the salty flavor.
- Another tip is to add additional food items. A common ingredient to add to a seafood boil are eggs. Eggs soak up some of the seafood seasoning flavor and add an additional tasty component.
- To prevent the potatoes from getting too mushy, separate the red potatoes from the rest of the mixture. Boil the rest of the mixture for several minutes before adding the potatoes in to the boiling water.
Aldi seafood boil reviews
Various users on Reddit chimed in on a post on Reddit about Aldi's seafood boil with their thoughts about the seafood boil in a bag:
It was a pretty surprising amount of food for $10. Decent quality and taste, not restaurant excellent but good overall. I'd give it a 6.5-7 out of 10

I boiled the corn 1st- only added half of the seasonings but added my own low salt cajun- while the corn was boiling i seared the sausage in a skillet- then I added the potatoes- also I added extra frozen corn & red potatoes plus a pound of gulf shrimp- came out absolutely delicious 😋

My kids love this. They think it’s fancy. I only use like half the packet of seasoning and add more shrimp to it to stretch it.
