Atlantic Fish Company, Boston

Atlantic Fish, in the Back Bay, is part of a group of popular Boston restaurants including Abe & Louie’s, Joe’s American Bar and Grill and Papa Razzi Paramus, all which can be counted upon for quality meals and service. This seafood specialty spot, open since 1978, is known for its award-winning New England clam chowder, Maine lobster pot pie and San Francisco cioppino. Come summer, patrons vie for a spot on its outdoor patio along bustling Boylston Street, while inside, the dining room is meant to invoke a cruise ship of old, with detailed woodwork and ocean-themed murals. Menus change daily, to reflect what’s in season and fresh, but diners can count on classics like baked stuffed Maine lobster, jumbo lump crab cakes and a raw bar. More innovative dishes include tuna bolognese, barbecue glazed salmon and smoked salmon pâté.
