Best seafood restaurant

It's the classic out-of-towner establishment. Having heard reports of this fish dynasty for years (and perhaps having seen the scaled-down version in airports), your mom and dad, your company's Midwest representatives, your old friends from college, and just about anyone else who lives more than a few hours from the ocean are sure to have a visit to Legal Sea Foods on their list. After 50 years, critics complain that Legal's heyday is past, but Phoenix readers don't seem to agree. Bostonians continue to flock to the chain, trusting that they and their loved ones are in good hands when it comes to clam chowder and lobster dinners - New England fare worth making a trip for.
