Legal Sea Foods

What should be illegal is the friggin lobsta roll at $23!!! I have been chasing for a nice piece of tail in Atlanta for years and have yet found one to proudly wrap my mouth around it.

Steamhouse's version might as well be a fake crabstick on a hot dog bun with drippy rancid butter... And now, Legal Sea Foods attempted but failed as well. While the bun was buttery and nicely toasted, the innards just didn't have that ol' so fwesh from da sea taste. This specimen was bottom of the fridge cold, bland, barely dressed and more claw than tail. The fwies and coleslaw were less than conversation. Meh.

Lobster Roll

Fried petite clams w/ bellies

New England Fwied Clams - Whole-bellied, sweet and petite. That might sound wonderful... Mebbe, if you were in a trailer park. These fried snot were one step up from HoJo's clam strip dinner. More crust than anything... And the whole-bellies? Hell, I have more belly poking out from under my shirt.

New England Clam Chowda - All in all, a decent chowda. At least it's not minced clams. But there's consistency issues here, one day is pretty damn tastee, another is meh.

The only things I would go back to try is the lobster bake, steamed littlenecks, crabmeat roll or fish n chips. But at those prices, I think I hear the Captain calling.

*Sigh*
