Meat and fish on one plate? Sounds good, right? Steak and lobster. Scallops and petite tender. Prawns with a picanha. It is all about balance. And contrast. And quality.
With us, you order top-quality meat and fish for surf & turf. Prawns that stay firm on the grill. Lobster tails bursting with flavour. Scallops that are almost too good to cook. Every single one flash-frozen at the peak of freshness and delivered to your home the way it should be: frozen, securely packed and 100% selected with craftsmanship.
What is surf & turf?
The idea is simple: you combine something from the sea (surf) with something from the land (turf). But a well-executed surf & turf is anything but simple. It is all about harmony: texture, flavour, fat content, doneness. Only when both components complement each other does the magic happen. Think of the firm bite of a steak with the juiciness of prawns. Or the velvety texture of a scallop with the deep umami of dry-aged beef. Simple idea, great result.
Why is surf & turf so popular?
Because it feels luxurious, yet is accessible. Because you can combine whatever you like. And because it is always just that little bit more special. You don't just put a surf & turf on the table. It is a statement. Whether it is for a date night, a Christmas dinner or a summer evening with friends. And let's be honest: when are steak and prawns not a good idea?
Meat + fish = the best of both worlds
In terms of flavour, meat and fish complement each other perfectly. Meat brings body and structure, fish brings freshness and finesse. By playing with herbs, sauces and cooking methods, you create layered dishes that people remember. And yes, it really doesn't have to be difficult. As long as you start with good basic products. Like ours.
Steak & prawns
A golden combination. The juiciness of a nicely grilled entrecote next to the saltiness of prawns fried with garlic and parsley. Easy to prepare, always a party. Our prawns are peeled and portioned – all you have to do is cook them. A quick grill, a little butter, done.
Steak & scallops
Perhaps our favourite. Scallops have a delicate, almost nutty flavour that goes fantastically with meat with a full, mature flavour. Think petite tender or a beautiful piece of wagyu. Briefly cook the scallops in butter, serve with a smooth purée and finish with a little beurre blanc or lemon oil. Worthy of a chef.
Steak & lobster tail
The ultimate surf & turf classic. And not without reason. Our lobster tails are frozen at their peak. All you have to do is thaw and grill them. Brush with herb butter, serve with a thick steak and a glass of Chardonnay. Luxury at its best.
Steak & squid
Squid is a little more adventurous, but certainly not difficult. Briefly fry small squid or calamari over high heat with some chilli and garlic. Delicious with a thin bavette or a rump steak. Exciting, light and full of character. Perfect when you want something different.
Order fish for surf & turf online at The Butchery
Just like our meat, our fish is flash-frozen at the right moment: the peak of tenderness and flavour. Prawns, scallops, lobster tails and squid are processed immediately after being caught, vacuum-packed and frozen at lightning speed. This keeps the structure intact and you taste the difference. Fresher than fresh.
You simply order online. Add your fish (and meat) to your shopping cart, choose your delivery moment and we do the rest. Our butchers pack everything deep-frozen and insulate it well. All you need is an empty fridge and a good glass of wine.
Shipped frozen
Our fish is shipped frozen. That means: no stress, no race against the clock. In the evening, you calmly take it out of the freezer, let it thaw in the fridge and cook whenever you are ready. Grill-ready, just as you are used to from us.
