Legal Seafoods got its humble beginnings back in Click here to enlarge

1950 when George Berkowitz opened a fish market next to his father's grocery store in Cambridge, MA. In 1968, the fish market gave birth to a seafood restaurant serving broiled and fried fish served on paper plates. These days, Legal Seafood has come a long way from paper plates and picnic tables, and has asserted itself as a restaurant trend-setter.

Legal has always considered themselves to be a fish market, first and foremost, and that strict philosophy has resulted in an absolute commitment to quality and freshness that is consistently reflected in their food, time after time. When you visit any one of the Legal Seafoods Restaurants from Boston to Boca Raton, you will be met with an atmosphere that is sophisticated, warm, and inviting. With a promise of exemplary service, you will be well taken care of by everyone you come in contact with.

Legal Sea Foods cares about being ecologically responsible and serves only fish that are seasonable and sustainable. They also care about health and pledge to never use products containing trans-fat. Some locations even offer a gluten-free menu. The main menu is extensive,

and offers all the usual suspects like lobster, clams, chowder and haddock. You'll also find wild salmon, tuna, bluefish, scallops, rainbow trout, and scrod. Flavors range from the tame all the way to Cajun Lemon Chive Butter, Thai Red Coconut Curry, and Indian spices. Sides include mashed potato and rice pilaf, seaweed salad, cole slaw, or jalapeno cheddar polenta. You can also tempt your taste buds at the seafood bar.

If you're looking for delicious, fresh seafood, Legal is the place to go. If you're not into seafood, however, you probably won't be too thrilled about dining in a Legal Seafoods restaurant, as the majority of their menu comes from the sea with only a few exceptions. Most locations offer a Filet Mignon, an Oven Roasted Herbed Chicken, a Burger, and several salads including Mixed Field Greens, Chopped Greek, Classic Caesar, Cobb, and the Tortilla, Apple and Goat Cheese salad, which features avocado, roasted red peppers and chipotle dressing. Most salads can be topped with chicken, shrimp, or scallops if you want to add some protein.

Legal Seafoods' online store has even more choices than their restaurants, and you can order entire meals like Wild Mushroom Ravioli with Marsala Wine Sauce, Roasted Duck Confit, Steak, or even an entire Clam Bake.

Prices will be moderate to high depending on what items you order and the current market price.
