Not long ago, Aldi temporarily sold a crab rangoon dip that was instantly popular. In keeping with seafood-themed dips, Aldi recently introduced another crustacean dip: Park Street Deli Lobster Roll Dip.
Park Street Deli Lobster Roll Dip cost $3.29 for a 12-oz. container at the time of publication. It’s an ALDI Find (Special Buy), which means it will only be in stores for a short time, so get it while you can.
As you might expect with a food like this, the ingredients list is lengthy and contains a lot of processed items. The primary ingredients are mayonnaise, surimi, water, and lobster. People with allergies should be aware this contains crustacea (crab, lobster, shrimp), eggs, fish (pollock and/or whiting), milk, soy, and wheat.

Park Street Deli Lobster Roll Dip.
Lobster rolls are sandwiches commonly found in New England and parts of Canada. Wikipedia says they consist of lobster meat served on a grilled hot dog-style bun. The filling may also include butter or mayonnaise, lemon juice, black pepper, salt. Some versions might include diced celery or scallions.
Since this Aldi product is a dip, my family did not eat it sandwich style but rather ate it with tortilla chips and crackers. We found it to be very tasty. It seems to have very large or very small chunks of meat in it, with not a lot of medium-sized pieces. Still, we all enjoyed it. It would also be good served with fancy bread, rolls, or pitas.
The Verdict:
Park Street Deli Lobster Roll Dip takes the best of a New England classic and offers it up in the perfect form to eat with crackers, chips, or whatever you eat with dip. It’s not the healthiest food out there, but it’s a tasty occasional treat.
I got the last one on the shelf at my local Aldi. Not bad, but contains an overabundance of mayonnaise, even for a dip. The ‘large chunks of meat’ are undoubtedly surimi, not lobster. I tried adding some minced celery and was very pleased with the result.
I can not find the cooking directions, can I heat it up?
We’ve only served it cold. If you try heating it, let us know how it turns out.
Can Aldi Lobster Roll and Crab Rangoon dips be frozen? I would like to freeze them for another time.
If you try it, let us know how it goes.
Why do they think adding Red Pepper or Paprika to things makes them tasting? Besides being allergic to all capsicum, a true Lobster Roll doesn’t have any of that on it!
Tasty. Stupid autocorrect
My husband was actually the one who spotted it in the store the first time. We bought couple of the. And we loved it!!!! Especially with the Aldi Rice cracker.
