Legal Seafood News

But first, it`s about streamlining PPX and Legal`s seafood suppliers and revamping the menu. Swapping seafood suppliers with Legal and other PPX brands „has allowed us to combine our resources to offer Legal Sea Foods` customers the best of the best cuts of meat and seafood,“ said Lapine. In creating the new menu, PPX executives wanted to honor Legal`s classic dishes like New England baked haddock – Anna`s Way, Legal`s signature crab cake, crispy squid and clam chowder, while adding innovative preparations to some pieces of fish and other seafood. King said. Mr. Berkowitz gained national notoriety, especially after NBC`s Today Show named Legal Sea Foods the best seafood restaurant in the country in 1986. The company is also pursuing a lawsuit against insurer Strathmore, which rejected the restaurant company`s claim for significant losses due to COVID-19. Berkowitz opened the first Legal Sea Foods restaurant next to the fish market in 1968. Over the years, restaurants that offer traditional New England seafood such as clam chowder and fried clams have won a number of national awards.

„Downtown Virginia Beach presents us with a great opportunity to bring our iconic New England seafood experience to this dynamic market,“ said Ann Marie Escobar, brand president and chief operating officer of Legal Sea Foods Restaurant Group. „We are proud to partner with our new owner, Armada Hoffler Properties, in this prime location. This is such an exciting time for our brand, marking the opening of our first new restaurant since partnering with PPX Hospitality and ushering in a new vision for growth.

Legal Cash Market, a meat market and grocery store that Harry opened in 1904, accepted stamps that the government issued at the time for families to buy food – the „legal money“ that led to the name of the market. Harry „was one of the toughest workers I have ever known, and one of the fairest and most respected businessmen in Cambridge,“ he wrote in his memoirs. Seventy years ago, Legal Sea Foods opened as a fish market in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and has since cast a wider net — it now operates 23 restaurants along the East Coast, as well as its own quality control center on Boston Harbor. Legal Sea Foods` signature slogan, „If it`s not fresh, it`s not legal!“ is a testament to its legendary fanaticism for seafood quality and safety. The restaurants serve more than 40 varieties of fresh fish and shellfish throughout the year.

The menu showcases typical New England cuisine, including the famous New England clam chowder, which has been served at nearly every presidential inauguration since 1981.

Legal serves certified sustainable seafood, including farmed shrimp certified four stars according to aquaculture best practices and certified by the Aquaculture Stewardship Council; scallops, saithe, halibut, haddock and swordfish certified by the Marine Stewardship Council; and salmon, which is certified organic according to EU soil standards. „They are a trusted supplier because they are one of the few fish processors participating in the U.S. Department of Commerce`s USDC Grade A voluntary inspection program, and their commitment to controlling every step of the process translates into seafood that tastes great,“ King said. He founded Legal Sea Foods in 1950 as a fish market next to his Russian immigrant father`s meat market and the Legal Cash Market in Cambridge, according to the newspaper. George Berkowitz, who founded the seafood restaurant chain Legal Seafood, has died in a Boston suburb. He was 97. „The world of restaurants will shrink.

There will be fewer people choosing to eat out as regularly as before. It makes sense to have a smaller footprint,“ Berkowitz said. For several consecutive years, Legal Sea Foods has been voted Boston`s favorite restaurant by the Zagat guide and even listed in the book „1,000 Places to See Before You Die.“ Nevertheless, a search revealed several lawsuits filed against Legal Sea Foods in recent months for unpaid invoices prior to the sale. „If we didn`t make it, we wouldn`t go home, we would go into battle,“ he wrote. „Believe me, it was a great incentive to study. „If they don`t respect you,“ he said of his subordinate troops and later his employees, „they won`t want to follow your orders.“ In late 2020, when the restaurant industry was hit hard by the pandemic nationwide, Roger, who was CEO and president of Legal Sea Foods, sold the restaurants to PPX Hospitality Brands.
