Dallas-Fort Worth restaurants are competing for consumer attention during the FIFA World Cup frenzy. A North Texas seafood shack called Flying Fish is offering two unexpected canned food specials.

Unique Deals

The deal is ‘surf or turf,’ a spoof on the classically pricey surf-and-turf dish that often features lobster tail and a filet mignon at a fine-dining restaurant. Flying Fish is no such place. Each restaurant has a wall of goofy plastic bass, and the menu includes food for as low as $6.95 for kids.

Flying Fish’s new summertime deal matches the restaurant’s effortless inelegance. Tinned sardines — the surf — cost $15, while canned Vienna sausages — the turf — go for $12. Both come with saltine crackers and what the owner dryly refers to as a ‘mélange’ of mayo, mustard, Worcestershire, and lemon.
