Boston has become a foodie’s paradise – stock full of celebrity chefs, historic restaurants, and culinary experiences no matter your taste or budget. What we’re most known for, however, is our stellar seafood - thanks to our location directly on the Atlantic Ocean. Lobster, sea scallops, haddock, cod, oysters, and mussels are just some of the seafood delicacies delivered right to the docks of Boston, all year round.
In this post, we share some of our favorite seafood-serving restaurants located closest to our convention centers. We suggest you check out one (or two) of these on your next visit to Boston!
