I've eaten there three times and three strikes your out. Never had a decent meal there(Boston & Framingham), the service was terrible, the prices too high and they use early release prisoners in the kitchen at lower than the minimum wage. I can find better elsewhere. Enjoy your meal

Yeah im careful about the seafood at restaurants, trust me  . Ive seen and heard to many stories over the years. My last boss's 1st employer used to take fish that was getting a lil ripe, a rejuvinating bath in some bleach water to get a few extra days out of it

I'd rather have a Filet-o-fish at the McD's drive thru. Tastes the same but the service is better.

If your ever in Boston - The "No Name" resturant on Fan Peir. You actually walk by & among the fish just offloaded from the trawlers - talk about fresh. The only way to get fresher fish - get off your ass.
Great prices Great portions. You can keep your facy tablecloths just give me the grub.

The home of brotherly love:
$17 for a p-uni lobster roll, but it was at the one in Logan.
The "No Name" gets my vote too.

Legals sucks - if you are in town, go to The Atlantic Fish Co... much better.
Pat's over by Mil Street has the best Boston Schrod...

If you like Woodmans, you'll like Farnhams and The Clam Box even more. This is for Fried stuff
As far Boston Seafood places, I'm with JohnR, Atlantic blows away Legal's, so does The Summer shack.
The No Name is nothing like it used to be and full of Tourist buses,but the price is still right.
If you really want to have your sox blown off, go to Great Bay or Clio, $$$ but amazing seafood. These places are not for the Scrod Squad.

No Name restaurant is familiar to me. I haven't been there for ten years.
Lobster Shack in Rockport is excellent.

No Name is still the same, I can walk there from work.
Although they don't usually unlock my cell door too often.

No name was once the place to go. I don't know what its like now as I never get up there anymore. I used to like how people went to Jimmy's or Pier 4 and spent ten times as much for seafood that was no where near as good as at the No Name. No Name had zero 'Atmosphere" you were jammed in right next to people you didn't know (liek at a table for 6 yhere might be six people who never saw eachother before but they all sat like they had come together) but the food was the best and we could afford it , even as students. I remember they had a broiled fishermans platter. In those days , a fisherman's platter was fried in 99% of the world I knew but there you could get all the same goodies in a dish broiled in butter. They use to serve these little squids who's tenticles would soak up the butter as if they were strands of spaghetti not the tenticles. YUMMM!! I can't imagine the food is any less good although I bet it is a mob scene now that its so famous. Man I'm hungry just thinking about it!!!

The causeway up in glouceter acrosss from yankee fleet has the best fried fish anywhere on earth. As far as broiled or raw bar it's hard to beat turners in melrose square on main st. santini
