Legal Sea Foods – Somerville
About
Legal Sea Foods Somerville is a casual, social version of the seafood restaurant at Assembly Square, built around classic fare such as clams, cod, crab and calamari along with custom cocktails. The interior uses steel pipe, metal mesh, concrete and brick for an industrial feel that recalls the history of Assembly Square. Large garage doors open for open-air dining and lead out to a riverside patio.
The restaurant is part of Legal Sea Foods, which started as a family fish market outside Boston in 1950 and now runs 25 restaurants. Its menu draws on the brand’s signatures, including clam chowder, lobster rolls, crab cakes and a raw bar. The company sources lobsters and clams from the Gulf of Maine, buys local catch at the Boston Fish Pier, and favors seafood certified for responsible fishing or farming.
