- Replies 4
Discount supermarket ALDI is no stranger to helping Aussie households stretch their grocery dollars.
Known for its affordable private-label products and weekly Special Buys, ALDI aims to take the stress out of holiday shopping with the launch of its 2023 Christmas Seafood Selection.
'A seafood spread has long held a cherished spot on Australian Christmas tables, which is why ALDI has worked closely with its trusted partners to offer seafood staples and gourmet options at the lowest possible prices this festive season,' said ALDI.
This year, ALDI shoppers will find a selection of seasonal seafood staples and gourmet items with prices starting at just $6.99.
Kylie Warnke, ALDI Australia Shopping Expert, said that the selection had been curated with consideration for ‘quality, ease of preparation, and affordability’.
'Our incredible seasonal seafood selection is back! Expect to see the return of lobster tails and our Aussie tiger prawns, and best yet, with prices starting at just $6.99, we have tasty seafood options to suit every budget,' Ms Warnke shared.
She added: 'ALDI’s frozen seafood range offers a convenient option for customers looking to plan ahead this festive season, with additional fresh seafood products to be made available in time for Christmas Day. ALDI has taken the hard work out of food prep so you can spend less time cooking and more time socialising with these opulent yet convenient freezer feasts!'
Among the choices back on the menu this year are the Extra Large Scallops with Maple Flavoured Bacon, Large Australian Tiger Prawns, and Lobster Tails with Garlic Butter Glaze.
Puff pastry bundles perfect for appetisers from Ocean Royale are also included in the list. The Ocean Royale Lobster Puff Pastry Canapés 8pk/240g ($6.99) and Ocean Royale Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese Puff Pastry Canapés 8pk/240g ($6.99 require minimal prep—simply bake until golden.
'We’re delighted to once again bring our customers lobster at a budget-friendly price. These…will wow the taste buds and impress guests,' Ms Warnke added.
'Our smoked salmon and cream cheese puff pastry canapés are great for a tasty treat when you’re short on time. Pop them in the oven, and they’re ready! Excellent for an entertaining option when guests drop by or for an entrée to a festive dinner feast.'
Furthermore, the Ocean Royale Extra Large Scallops with Maple Flavoured Bacon, 6pk/270g ($13.99), may also be added to your appetisers.
'Our bacon-wrapped jumbo scallops are always a hit. At just $13.99 they offer a touch of decadence without the decadent price tag.'
For a hearty main, Warnke recommended the Ocean Royale Salmon Wellington with Cheese and Dill Sauce 700g ($15.99), saying: 'These salmon wellingtons are showstoppers in their own right! An entertainer’s dream that is easy to prepare and packs a flavour hit. Wrapped in flakey pastry means even the kids won’t shy away from giving it a try.'
If you’re looking for another salmon dish, ALDI also has a responsibly sourced whole-natural Atlantic salmon fillet dish for you. It’s the Ocean Royale Atlantic Salmon Side with Toscana Style Herb Crust 700g ($22.99).
'With enough for six servings, this simple but delicious option is a real crowd-pleaser! Minimum effort is required, and maximum deliciousness is ensured! I love it on the barbeque, which is just the taste of summer.'
Other dishes you may include on your seafood fest are the luxurious Ocean Royale Lobster Tails with Garlic Butter Glaze 2pk/380g ($34.99) and the Ocean Royale Garlic & Herb Butterflied Prawns 400g ($13.99).
'If you’re looking to add a little extra something-something to the table, these lobster tails will elevate your dining experience to new levels of sophistication. We know that they are a customer favourite to celebrate this fun time of year.'
Speaking about the butterflied prawns, Ms Warnke added: 'Perfect as part of your seafood platter on the big day or serve on their own, tossed with some spaghetti, cherry tomatoes and parsley for a midweek dinner when you’re short on time during the silly season.'
Last but definitely not least, and an institution in celebrations Down Under, are Ocean Royale Large Australian Tiger Prawns 1kg ($26.99 per kg), which were described to be 'firm, sweet, and succulent'.
