Legal Sea Foods
New England ’ s seaboard has been home to Legal Sea Foods since 1968 , when the first location opened its doors in Cambridge , Massachusetts . The restaurant chain has since dominated the East Coast with a vast menu that calls the Ocean State , as well as Virginia , Pennsylvania , New Jersey and Massachusetts , home . The Cranston location offers more than forty varieties of locally sourced fish and shellfish throughout the year — from classic New England clam chowder and littleneck clams to sweet sesame-crusted yellowfin tuna and buttery cod . During the summer months , guests can relax at the sunlit patio while chowing down on their delicacies of choice . Land-lovers are welcome , too , for the menu offers a selection of savory salads that can be topped with chicken or steak . Finish your meal with a slice of Boston cream pie sprinkled with toffee bits , chilled chocolate-dipped bonbons or an espresso martini .
