Seafood X 2 - Twofold seafood - Seafood duo Explanation: It is not necessarily "romantic". Italians often use "di mare" instead of "frutti di mare", which means "seafood", and it has been translated literally into Spanish. So "seafood" is the right word for "di mare". |

seafood couplet Explanation: Just a thought, inspired by your suggestion that these are "poetical" names and the idea that these are two slightly different but complementary dishes. couplet |ˈkəplət| noun two lines of verse, usually in the same meter and joined by rhyme, that form a unit. Oxford Dictionary of English (British) |

Seafood Stew Duo Explanation: No Goigle hits. Just an idea that might work if you don't want to leave the name of the dish in Spanish, and that could fit in well if the other dishes on the menu end up having quirky names in English. |

duo de mar leave it in Spanish Explanation: See the discussion entries. There's no exact equivalent in English, Mónica says the menu goes on to provide a description, and leaving it in Spanish just makes it sound more interesting and exotic. |
