• Boston & Maine Fish Company

  Quincy Market Colonnade
  Boston, MA

  It is one of Boston's most visited tourist location, Quincy Market features a number of restaurants, retail stores, and various street entertainers.  Everyone in the family will find something interesting from establishments like the "Cheers" pub, Banana Republic, and a number of souvenier stores.

  

  With two hallways of various foodcourt-like restaurants separated by a central seating area:

  

  We're in Boston so let's try out some of the seafood at Boston & Maine Fish Company:

  

  Everything looks good behind that glass.

  Half a dozen shrimps for $8 USD:

  

  It's behind the glass so you know it's all prepared earlier in the day and you definitely taste it in the shrimp.  Under the light all day its surface has become dry and it's not cold at all.  The shrimp is crispy and would have tasted more fresh if they weren't dried under the light.  For $8 USD, it's very pricy for what you get.  I probably won't order this again.  Clam chowder in a bread bowl sounds a lot better at this moment.
