Christmas is coming early: Aldi announces return of cult favourite

Aldi has announced that their iconic festive seafood range will be hitting shelves early this year, giving Aussies the chance to get their hands on their favourite items. 

In order to help shoppers spread out their spending and beat the December crowds, Aldi's highly anticipated frozen seafood range will be available in stores from Wednesday October 26th.

Top of the list is lobster, with the supermarket's Ocean Royale Lobster Tails expected to once again be in high demand for those wishing to enjoy the delicacy at a budget price.

"The Ocean Royale Lobster Tails are a limited edition, seasonal product that we're so excited to bring back to customers in 2022," Aldi Shopping Expert Kylie Warnke explained to Yahoo News Australia.

"Due to high demand for these lobsters over the past few years, we expect this product will quickly be snapped up by seafood lovers to be enjoyed or stored away in their freezers for festive gatherings closer to Christmas. We're prepped for their popularity and have forecasted demand."

"We know Aldi shoppers who snap up these showstopping lobster tails will be sure to add a touch of elegance to their dining experience this year."

Other popular family seafood items returning to Aldi's shelves will be tiger prawns, Atlantic salmon, garlic butter lobster tails, and Scallops with herb de Province butter. 

Also on offer will be a range of gourmet canapés, such as salmon wellington in a cheese and dill sauce and wrapped in puff pastry, salmon puff pastries with cheese and dill sauce, lobster with dill and cheese sauce puff pastries, and extra-large scallops wrapped in maple-flavoured bacon.

Fans of Aldi's festive seafood range will want to mark Wednesday 26th October in their calendars as these items are expected to be scooped up fast.
