surf n turf
noun phrase

Surf n turf, also spelled surf and turf, is a main course which combines seafood and meat. The seafood used might be lobster,prawns, or shrimp prepared any number of ways, from steamed, grilled and breaded to fried. The meat is typically beefsteak, although others may be used. The "original" combination combines lobster and beef fillet mignon.
Surf and turf is often considered to symbolize so-called middlebrow Continental cuisine of the 1960s and 1970s, meaning a relatively fancy dish that the middle class can afford.
The term stems from surf, as in the waves on the sea when they approach the coast or hit against rocks and turf, which refers to a surface layer of land consisting of grass and the earth in which its roots grow.
