Publix Offers Classic Southern Summer Essential for Only $25
Catching a Tasty Deal at Your Local Publix: The Secret Seafood Boil
Hey there! Sick of fancy dinners that put a hole in your wallet? Well, you're gonna love this South's best-kept secret from your friendly neighborhood Publix!
Yep, the seafood counter at Publix has been dishing out some mind-blowing weeknight dinner hacks for Southern families for decades. But now it's TikTok-famous, and folks are going crazy for it! All thanks to asking for your seafood seasoned and steamed at the seafood counter for no extra charge. Sounds too good to be true, right? We thought so, too. But trust us when we say, it's the real deal!
Want to give it a shot? Just head to your local Publix seafood counter with an open mind and a hungry belly. Pick out fresh crab legs, shrimp, mussels, lobster tails, or whatever rocks your boat, then ask the friendly staff to steam in a bag along with your favorite seasonings like Cajun, Old Bay, or Lemon Pepper. And it gets even better: Depending on what you select from the case, especially if you snag some on-sale seafood, you can whip up your own seafood boil for under $25!
Social media's going wild over this, and everyone's sharing their seafood boil masterpieces. Some even offer tips on what to do (and what not to do) at the counter. For instance, if you ask them if they do a 'seafood boil,' they might tell you no. Don't be discouraged! They steam everything separately. Others confirmed that they can't technically steam all components together due to various prices but customers can order separately, steam, season, and then combine later.
One clever user named Alexis Brooke had a fantastic idea: Pre-cook some corn, potatoes, and maybe some eggs, grab the boil at Publix, get an extra side of seasoning, and add the seasoning to the cooked veggies at home. BAM! Dinner's done! Another user recommended ordering through Instacart with a note for steaming and seasoning, delivering a hot seafood boil right to your door!
Sweet, right? Some stores even allow customers to purchase butter (with a receipt for proof) and add it to the mix of seafood and seasonings. This delicious deal can feed several people in just a few minutes, making it a budget-friendly way for a quick dinner or outdoor picnic with friends. So, if you're keeping it under $25, chat with the staff at the counter, and they'll hook you up!
Now, let's be real: This ain't a true Southern crawfish boil. The seafood is steamed and seasoned-delicious, but it won’t match the depth of flavor you can expect from hours of soaking in that rich, aromatic broth. Even so, the spirit of sharing seasoned seafood remains intact. An Atlanta seafood lover even walked viewers through the process, opting for shrimp and snow crab legs with Cajun spices and lemon pepper. The cost? Just under $50, they said. Not bad, eh?
So, if you're craving some seafood boil goodness, hop on over to Publix. Old Bay for shrimp or crab legs in the summer? We're sold!
