This modest establishment, which seats about three dozen, is decorated with white furnishings and walls, decked with a couple of maritime-themed photographs and a cityscape of its namesake city.
Some greenery softens the edges.
Boston Seafood was quiet on a Wednesday evening, with a few other tables occupied, though several customers came to collect takeout orders while we dined. The establishment has no liquor service, but diners can bring along their own bottle of wine. Our genial waitress brought us a basket that cradled several slices of fresh, soft Portuguese bread and some wrapped butter pats. Fine blue cheese and good Italian dressings came on the side in plastic containers. These fritters were sturdy, with crunchy exteriors concealing tender hearts studded with chopped clams.
