Legal Sea Foods – Arlington

ARLINGTON. "If it isn't fresh, it isn't legal" is this restaurant's mantra, and they pride themselves on offering the freshest seafood available. An extensive menu, prepared weekly, offers fried, wood-grilled, baked, and sautéed options. Whole lobster, shrimp, mahi mahi, and scallops are flawlessly prepared, and the cioppino is a classic. A raw bar serves terrific shellfish, and steak and chicken are available, too. Make sure you try the clam chowder, which has been a staple at the past six presidential inaugurations. Smart casual dress.
