"Depending on where a seafood chain is located, diners may prefer certain dishes. For example, patrons of restaurants in Maryland may be out for crabcakes, while Florida customers could be on the hunt for stone crabs. Up in Maine? One would assume that the state's most popular dish is the lobster roll. And while that may be true for many restaurants, it isn't true for Legal Sea Foods, where diners have fallen in love with its fried fish."
"Legal Sea Foods' lobster roll is quite impressive as well, boasting a whopping half pound of Maine lobster meat, which it serves warm butter-poached or traditional with lemon mayo. However, customers still prefer the crisp exterior and flaky interior of its fish and chips, and that's not all. We also found that Legal Sea Foods has one of the best shrimp cocktails of chain restaurants, as well as a stellar kids' menu for picky eaters."
"While there have been some complaints of Legal Sea Foods' fish and chips being overcooked, the majority of reviews on Yelp are positive. "The batter was crisp and the texture was spot on. The fish was light and flavorful. A really amazing fish with plenty of fries," shared one commenter. Another wrote, "The fish was fried perfectly and the [tartar] sauce made it even better.""
Legal Sea Foods, founded in Boston in 1950, draws strong praise for its fish and chips, made with wild-caught North Atlantic fish prepared New England or Cajun style and served with french fries and coleslaw. The lobster roll contains a half pound of Maine lobster meat and is offered warm butter-poached or traditional with lemon mayo, but diners tend to favor the fried fish. The chain also earns recognition for its shrimp cocktail and a kids' menu. Yelp reviews are largely positive, praising crisp batter, light flavor and tartar sauce, though some mention occasional overcooking.
