Meat and seafood

[MattGPT]

So not sure if it’s international, but here we have a common dish known as Beef and Reef, or a Surf and Turf. It’s usually a steak served topped with a few prawns / shrimps, often with a cheese sauce of some kind.

The key here is the name. Some clever play on words that combines the red meat, and the seafood.

Here is a starting point, add your suggestions and I’ll update the list.

Beef and Reef
Surf and Turf
Whale and Tail
Horn and Prawn
Bones and Blood
Skins and Fins

Surf and turf here is a steak and lobster.

 

[MattGPT]

Is this a lobster?

No, it’s this right?

We don’t really get these here...looks delicious. It’s saltwater right? Not freshwater?

We call that a blue-swimmer crab. Well, almost? Ours are similar I guess?

Whale tail is when a girl wears low rise jeans and her thong hangs out the back.

today we went to the grocery store. shopping. in the seafood center (flagship store/one of best seafood centers in Gulf area) there were some imported lobster tails for $57.99 each! and not to mention them all, but there were some nice aged strips over in the meat center counter (again, top of line stuff) about about 2-2 1/2#s... $28.95/# ! not quite 4-fingers, but pushing 3 for sure!!

Caribbean Lobster tails...

We’d call these “prawns”.

It seems “lobster” is not a reliable thing to go and order...you never quite know what might turn up. It will be some kind of crustacean, but other than that?

We have these “bugs” too, but something about the look of em puts me off.

Here's one of our lobster feeds.

Wow, that is a decent feed. You just boil ‘em, crack ‘em, and eat ‘em? Or do you dip in garlic butter or other sauces?

One or two of those looks like a meal for one, you must be feeding a crowd there, looks like 15 or 20 lobsters.

Steamed eastern lobsters! Haha

There was about 30 lobsters, we dip them in garlic butter, and regular salter butter. There were 6 people there for our annual mothers day lobster feed.
