12 Dishes You May Want To Avoid At Red Lobster - Daily Meal

Red Lobster's signature Admiral's Feast features an outrageous amount of deep-fried food on one platter. This dish comes with fried bay scallops, clam strips, flounder, and Walt's Favorite Shrimp. You also get a choice of two sides, which does present an opportunity to toss in some steamed broccoli or a side salad. However, if somebody is already diving off the deep end by ordering the Admiral's Feast, they may decide to go all in and order fries or Red Lobster's Bacon Mac & Cheese instead.

If all that sounds good to you, it's important to know exactly what you're getting. The Admiral's Feast adds up to an alarming 1,680 calories. You also get about 215% of your daily value of sodium, with 4,940 milligrams, 126% of your fat intake, 50% of recommended carbohydrates, and 65% of your daily cholesterol. For those who are generally healthy eaters, this may not pose immediate harm to your health. However, regularly putting away that much sodium, for example, can have detrimental health effects, per the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

On top of the high calorie count, the Admiral's Feast doesn't give much variety in terms of flavor or texture. Every bite you take is some variation of deep-fried seafood, which is all crunchy, salty, and oily. For the toll this entrée takes on your wallet and waistline, it's probably one you should skip.
