When did they collect $$ before you got your food? Inman Square. Their first location. Of course, I was very young then but heard about their policy from my elders. LOL
My first visit to a Legal Seafoods was the Chestnut Hill location in 1985. Mostly we had gone to the one at Burlington Mall but also to Boston proper a few times. I always found them overpriced but the fish is always fresh and in great variety. It’s one of the only places you can find exotic seafoods like shark and octopus!
