"Although there are plenty of seafood dishes at your average chain restaurant, shrimp cocktail is a little harder to find. Not only that, but seafood prices, shrimp in particular, are on the rise. In this economy, it's not always wise to simply order a shrimp cocktail at any place that happens to offer it. You might want to save it for a restaurant that not only does it right but truly excels at the dish."
"When you're in the mood for shrimp cocktail at Legal Sea Foods, there are a couple of items that you can pick from. First, there's the standard shrimp cocktail, where you can get three or five pieces with cocktail sauce to dip them in. But if you crave a seafood selection, try the shellfish tower, which comes with the shrimp cocktail, as well as oysters, clams, lobster, tuna tartare, and seaweed salad."
"Reviewers say that the shrimp cocktail is delicious and that the presentation is unmatched. It comes on a bed of shaved ice that keeps the shrimps cool without affecting the texture. So, the shrimps don't turn into a water-soaked mess. The jumbo pieces are crisp and fresh, so you know that they aren't overcooked. They're peeled, deveined, and ready for you to bite into them right away."
Shrimp prices are rising, making selective ordering of shrimp cocktail advisable to ensure value. Public opinions from review sites, social media, and food coverage reveal top chain eateries based on flavor, freshness, quality, presentation, size, and overall value. Many top-performing chains focus on seafood, offering items like standard shrimp cocktails or larger seafood towers. Legal Sea Foods offers three- or five-piece cocktails and a shellfish tower featuring oysters, clams, lobster, tuna tartare, and seaweed salad. Reviewers praise Legal Sea Foods' presentation on shaved ice, jumbo crisp fresh shrimp, and fully peeled, deveined servings that retain ideal texture.
