Melissa - the niece - wanted seafood for her birthday celebration. We took her to our favorite fish place in Boston. (Sorry, Legal) Rolfe, Jen (another niece), Melissa and I went there last Saturday night. While having some wine and cocktails waiting for Jen to meet us at the bar, we watch scrumptious plates of raw bar and sushi passing us. We were hungry! At the table, we immediately ordered the 'house favorite' - gingered calamari. It is fried calamari tossed in a ginger salsa. It is the best calamari ever. (you should note that 13 years or so ago, Rolfe and I went here for a kind of 'first date' and I introduced him to this calamari) Since we were celebrating and imbibing, we opted to get the 'party boat' as well. That has lobster, shrimp and crab meat with oysters and clams you normally find on a 'shellfish tower'. However, when this thing arrived at the table, it was literally, a boat. It was a huge boat that took up the entire table. The shellfish was fresh and (I hate raw clams) the clams were the best I ever tasted. We were full but forced ourselves to order entrees (Jen and I ordered entrees, Rolfe and Melissa got a bunch of maki to split) This is one of the places that still has sea bass (the Chilean kind that is politically incorrect) on the menu and I HAD to get it. It was sweet and gingered and so good. Jen got swordfish that was sweet and mild. Rolfe and Melissa enjoyed the maki. Spider maki and lobster maki were flavorful, colorful and as good to look at as they were to eat. If you want seafood - check this place out.
