Legal Seafood

Legal Seafood fulfilled my criteria of a place that was worthy of visiting.

My friend and I walked past it as we were shivering to our hotel.

Fishing for the right spot... and we got it!!

In the dark, lonely and quiet streets, this restaurant simply shone like a beacon with its warm, welcoming lights and crowded interior.

The queue that lined the doorway did make us curious and led to our presence within the place.

Clam Chowder

We actually ordered only one serving but the restaurant kindly served it in two cups.

A creamy soup with generous portions of clams… I can definitely fall in love with Boston’s clam chowder.

It came with a packet of tiny bun-like biscuits which you can pop into the soup for an added crunch. (I suspect that this is a Boston thingy since 8/10 Restaurant also served the same biscuits with their clam chowder.)

Instead of croutons, you get a healthier low-fat version that soaks up the clam chowder beautifully to give you a delicious mouthful.

New England Lobster Bake

This came with a whole lobster and tons of mussels and steamers (a type of shellfish)

The dish was so fresh that the mussels and steamers really smelled and tasted like the sea.

It came with a sauce that was made from melted butter and the juices left after the seafood was steamed.

Apron and tools considerately provided to ensure a clean and easy meal

It really should be good but I was too overcome by jet lag and exhaustion to properly appreciate the food.

The pungent smell of seafood in the sauce didn’t do much except make me feel more nauseous...

... such that I had to leave Nana to valiantly stuff down the rest of the food all by herself while I crumble in wimpy surrender beside the table.
