Legal Sea Foods – Kendall Square
About
Legal Sea Foods in Kendall Square is the Cambridge branch of the Boston-born seafood restaurant company. The menu spans the brand’s signatures: thick, creamy clam chowder, half-pound Maine lobster rolls, signature crab cakes, steak paired with shrimp, lobster tail or crab cake, a raw bar with oysters and shellfish towers, and a sushi menu with nigiri and specialty rolls. The company pitches it for date nights, casual get-togethers and special events.
Legal Sea Foods started in 1950 as a family fish market just outside Boston and has grown to 25 restaurants plus a national home delivery business. Its sourcing is built around New England waters, with lobsters from the Gulf of Maine and local catch landed daily at the Boston Fish Pier. Sustainability certifications guide purchasing where possible, and the company is now the official seafood restaurant and clam chowder of the New England Patriots.
