Surf and turf

Surf and turf or surf 'n' turf is a main course which combines seafood and red meat. The seafood used may be lobster, prawns, or shrimp, which may be steamed, grilled or breaded and fried. When served with lobster, the lobster tail or a whole lobster may be served with the dish. The meat is typically beefsteak, although others may be used. One type of combination is lobster and filet mignon. Surf and turf is eaten in steakhouses in the U.S., Canada and Australia, and may also be available in some British/Irish-style pubs in those countries.
