Legal Sea Foods

WATERFRONT. "If it isn't fresh, it isn't legal" is this restaurant's mantra and they pride themselves on offering only the freshest seafood available. Rich, creamy clam chowder is a specialty, and the raw bar fare enjoys its share of devotees. You'll also find wood-grilled swordfish, fried oyster, and a great cioppino. Daily and seasonal specials abound, and fresh Maine lobsters are cracked table side on request. A Boston institution since 1968, there are seven Legals in the immediate area alone, but the one at Long Wharf is particularly impressive thanks to its outdoor dining area and awesome views of the Harbor.
