The Red Lobster Crunch-Fried Flounder Sandwich is a new menu item arriving just in time for the summer season for seafood fans to try out on their next visit to their local restaurant.
The sandwich boasts a hand-battered piece of wild-caught flounder sandwiched inside a brioche bun with tartar sauce and a dollop of coleslaw. The sandwich comes served with your choice of one side and offers an elevated take on the classic menu item for diners to enjoy.
The Red Lobster Crunch-Fried Flounder Sandwich is priced at $12.99 and is available now at participating locations, but will only be around for a short while. The sandwich merges heavier textures and flavors with crisper ones to give it a satisfying profile for patrons to enjoy.
