"What sets the chain apart from other restaurants, though, is the obsession with freshness and quality; its catchy tagline says, "If it isn't fresh, it isn't Legal!" The sourcing of every seafood item on the menu is transparently disclosed, prioritizing local catch and countries with the safest fishing practices. Freshness is the first step towards ensuring peak quality, but the second step is the independent testing."
"If you've ever gotten food poisoning after eating seafood in a restaurant, the experience has probably taught you that not every place has the kind of quality standard you can trust. Between the risks of early spoilage and heavy metal contamination, seafood is a tricky thing to order, even more so when you're trying out a new place. One particular seafood restaurant, however, has built a reputation as the champion of quality by meticulously testing the items it serves in an in-house lab:"
Legal Sea Foods began in the late 1960s and developed a reputation for high-quality seafood and clam chowder served at multiple presidential inaugurations. The company prioritizes freshness with the slogan If it isn't fresh, it isn't Legal and discloses the sourcing of every menu item, favoring local catch and countries with safe fishing practices. Seafood is continuously monitored for temperature to maintain cold-chain integrity, and independent laboratory tests check bacteria, histamine, and toxin levels. In 2023, Legal expanded into online retail and announced a 30,000-square-foot Innovation Center to strengthen safety and quality systems for shipped seafood.
