Cut the lobster tails into pieces.

Pulse the scallops and shrimp in a food processor with a little salt and some ice water until it resembles a paste.

Incorporate the lobster pieces into the seafood mixture.

Form the mixture into patties, using oil on your hands to prevent sticking.

Place the patties in the freezer to firm up for a bit before breading.

Prepare the tartar sauce by mixing simple ingredients like dill and a pickle, keeping it straightforward.

Set up a breading station with flour, eggs, and panko breadcrumbs.

Heat a cast iron skillet with oil until it bubbles.

Bread the patties one at a time, first in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs.

Fry the patties in the hot oil, cooking them until golden brown.

Toast the brioche buns in a dry pan until golden brown.

Assemble the sandwich with tartar sauce on the bottom, the fried seafood patty, and cheese on top.
