Surf and turf or surf 'n' turf is a main course combining seafood and red meat.[1][2] A typical seafood component would be lobster[3] (either lobster tail[4] or a whole lobster[5]), prawns, shrimp,[6] squid or scallops, any of which could be steamed, grilled or breaded and fried. The meat is typically beef steak, although others may be used. One standard combination is lobster tail and filet mignon.[3]
