Surf & Turf Food Co., Lincoln

As little as 12 hours after fishermen pull in their lines, their catch arrives on the iced shelves of Surf and Turf Food Company. The diminutive marketplace conserves its shelf space for gourmet seafood, with a rotating inventory that may include lobster, Alaskan halibut, and New Zealand mussels one day, and Copper River salmon and yellowfin tuna the next. Near the cases of tempting aquatic fare, fine Nebraskan beef and rare meats such as elk brats beg to be tossed onto a grill. Much of the food is available at an online shop, which ships out edibles packed in dry ice, the cousin of also confusingly named wet fire.
