One of the newest stadium snacks to be made available at Fenway Park is a kebab and hot dog hybrid that puts a twist on traditional surf and turf dishes.
At the center of the ballpark snack is a skewered kebab stacked with shrimp and marinated steak strips with alternating red and green peppers in between. Although this could be served as a standalone snack, the stadium pushes its concept further by serving the entire dish on a long roll.
Surf and turf dishes are often presented as upscale pairings of seafood and red meat, typically with a lobster tail included on a plate for the sake of presentation, but this reinterpretation of the pairing makes the dish suitable for casual snacking at a sports game.
