2012 Award Winner: BEST Chowdah

The voters have spoken and the results are in. View the complete list

From the day in 1950 when George Berkowitz opened a fish market next to his father's grocery store in Inman Square in Cambridge, MA, the Legal name has been synonymous with quality and freshness. This humble seafood market was named after his father Harry's “Legal Cash Market” where customers were given “Legal Stamps” (the forerunner to S & H green stamps) with their purchases. Now under the leadership of Roger Berkowitz, George's son, Legal operates over 30 family-owned restaurants from Boston, MA to Florida and a mail order business. For three generations, the Berkowitz family has continued this tradition of serving the highest quality, freshest fish for a great value. We are committed to these values as we head into the future.

Legal's Fish Chowder is the best. It's one of my favorite comfort foods and has been since I moved to Boston many years ago.

Okay - I'm not a huge fan of "mass-market" eateries... But, these folks do know their chowder.
