About
Legal Sea Foods Restaurant Group is the Boston company behind the Legal Sea Foods restaurants, known for the simple promise that its signature dish is really fresh fish. More than 40 varieties of fish and shellfish appear on its menus through the year, backed by a wine list the company describes as award-winning. Locations include Boston Harborside, Hingham and Cranston, plus several outposts inside Logan Airport terminals and one at Reagan National Airport.
The company began in 1950 as a family fish market just outside Boston and has grown to 25 restaurants, a national home delivery business and a team of more than 1,000 hospitality workers. Its New England clam chowder is its best-known dish, and the menu also features lobster rolls, crab cakes, a raw bar and sushi. Sourcing centers on Gulf of Maine lobsters and clams and local catch landed at the Boston Fish Pier.
