Okay, say you’re at a BBQ and your friend offers you two things: a nice, juicy steak or a great piece of seafood. Which would you pick, the steak or the seafood?
We know it can be a tough decision, so in today’s poll, you have the option to say that you’d like both equally. (“Surprise me!” you’d say.) Or, perhaps you’re a vegetarian or just don’t like either option, and you could say “neither” and just eat the sides. (Hey, sometimes the sides are the best part, we wouldn’t judge!)
Some folks don’t even need to think about it. The second they hear “steak,” the decision is made. Maybe it’s the smell coming off the grill, the char marks, or that first bite of a perfectly cooked piece of beef. For many people, steak just feels like classic BBQ food.
Others hear “seafood” and they’re sold. Maybe it’s buttery shrimp, grilled salmon, fresh halibut, crab legs, or a perfectly seasoned skewer right off the flame. Seafood can feel a little lighter, a little fresher, and for some people, a whole lot harder to pass up.
Then there are the strategic eaters among you. You know better than to choose too quickly. First, you need more information. What kind of steak are we talking about? What kind of seafood? Who’s doing the cooking? Is there garlic butter involved? These details matter!
And let’s not forget that the sides can influence everything. A loaded baked potato next to that steak? Tempting. Fresh corn on the cob and pasta salad with the seafood? Also tempting. Sometimes the supporting cast can sway the main decision.
Well, what’re you having? Tell us below, and feel free to leave a comment after you vote, too.
Great… now we’re hungry.

It depends, if a restaurant is known for its steaks, the seafood might suffer and vice-versa for a seafood restaurant.
Restaurant? I was thinking about off the hot dog roller at the gas station!
My choice is “Either”, but not in the same meal.
I said seafood, but only if it’s king 🦀 or lobster 🦞
This Texan says Steak – always.
We live 1,100 miles from the West and Gulf coasts in a cattle-raising Western state. So, we can get a great steak nearly anywhere, but great seafood? There are only a very few places for that, so we cherish going to any great seafood restaurant!
The situation was a backyard BBQ, not a restaurant. I’d probably take the steak although my wife’s cousin made a mean cedar plank salmon.
Yeah, but if it is a great seafood dish at the BBQ, I can get a great steak and grill it myself at home. So, I would still take a great seafood dish at a friend’s BBQ, over a steak that I can make myself the next night. I am not going to spend time saucing, or whatever, seafood very often.
These days just a small piece of well done (no pink) steak.
