Do Most Prefer Beef or Fish

We're having a plated dinner and trying to narrow down on menu selections. We plan to have two main entree selections and a vegetarian option for anyone who needs it. We've pretty much decided to go with a chicken entree as one option. For the second, we're torn between a beef option or a fish...

We're having a plated dinner and trying to narrow down on menu selections. We plan to have two main entree selections and a vegetarian option for anyone who needs it. We've pretty much decided to go with a chicken entree as one option. For the second, we're torn between a beef option or a fish option. Choices for beef would be filet, ny strip, or prime rib and choices for seafood are norwegian salmon w/ asian orange ginger sauce or grilled salmon wrapped in parchment w/julienned vegetables.

If you're one of those that would select something else besides chicken or vegetarian, would you prefer a beef entree or seafood (salmon)?

EDITED: To correct typo.

I should have also mentioned we have the option to do a duet plate of

DUO OPTION

Sliced beef tenderloin, roasted shallot & mushroom, rich marsala wine sauce and

pinwheels of chicken florentine.

Should we just do this and call it a day? No second entree option which would mean no need to select an entree on the RSVP.

    For our wedding nearly 70% of our guests chose the beef entree (filet mignon) and most of the others chose the fish option (chilean sea bass). We only had a handful of guests choose the chicken entree, so I would recommend picking beef and fish. Out of your menu options, I would select the filet mignon and the norwegian salmon with orange ginger sauce.

    Filet mignon is my favorite, we're stuck between offering the filet and prime rib as our beef option. one of chicken dishes at our venue is just toooo delicious to not offer and I may choose it over the beef option unless I can get both lol

    Beef, but I'm not a fan of prime rib. It's always too under cooked for my liking. Filet or the ny strip for me please!

    I like the duo option. Then you won't have to deal with the hassle of meal selections.

    I'm currently dealing with the exact same issue, thank you for this thread! There are a lot of interesting answers here. I'm leaning toward chicken and a beef option.

    We are doing the Dual plate option.... and offering a Vegetarian if needed! It's standard for our venue! But I'd definitely choose Salmon over beef because I don't eat it!

    I would go with the beef - Salmon can easily be not great.

    I'd pick a filet over salmon every day!

    But just my $.02, we're having the duo option so that guests don't have to choose, I asked here a while ago and a lot of people said they'd prefer that option best

    I think my question should have been as a guest would you prefer chicken or salmon.

    My first choice would be chicken followed by salmon. I don't eat red meat at all.

    I love love fish, but I do NOT love salmon. Therefore, I would definitely prefer the beef.

    ETA: OMG, the DUO PLATE!!

    I would NOT like the DUO plate.

    Also I wouldn't srap the chicken idea. i'd rather have beef and chicken vs beef and fish,
