Legal Seafood - A GF Haven in Boston

Legal Seafood in Boston is one of the few restaurants in the country with a dedicated GF menu. Ask for it when you dine there. It is extensive and they take pains to prepare the seafood in a dedicated area, washing and preparing the plates separately to avoid cross contamination. Their fried calamari, rolled in chickpea flour, is fresh, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They will serve GF bread in lieu of white rolls which are reminiscent in texture of buttermilk biscuits. They are made of rice and tapioca flours, seasoned with a hint of onion. Their salmon is cooked to perfection. The GF food is served by their managers as they take allergies very seriously. In addition, they pride themselves in the freshest fish off the boats and quality test their fish for mercury regularly. When dining there you don't have to second guess the health aspect of any of their products. I found myself dining there at 6 times in a quick 5 day stay!

Legal Seafood has to be applauded for such committment to their wheat intolerant patrons. Encouragement of restaurants like Legal Seafood brings an awareness to other restaurants of the spectrum of customers out there who want to dine out but are limited in a world of wheat. Though their desserts are mainly dairy, they are making a difference in the wheat world. When other restaurants would rather not both with the hassle of maintaining a separate area and taking meticulous care in the preparation of GF food, this restaurant shines above the rest.

Thank you, Legal Seafood!!
