legal seafood

     

Legal Sea Foos is a Boston-based seafood restaurant chain primarily located in New England and the Northeast. There are also a few locations around Washington, DC and 3 in South Florida, and a location opening soon in Atlanta, GA. It was founded in 1968 by George Berkowitz, who opened a restaurant adjacent to his fish market in Cambridge, MA. The menus vary slightly by location and season, but all include a variety of specialty seafood and non-seafood entrees, appetizers, salads, and desserts. Extensive wine lists and full-service bars are also available at all locations to entice a younger, urban clientele in addition to family gatherings. By promoting day boat fishing operations, the company markets itself as having the freshest fish. The company also made industry advances on fish handling and has worked with the federal agencies on developing Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP). HACCP is an inspection and testing program now being introduced to the general population of seafood dealers for food safety.
