Well, One(1) evening. . .thats a tough one.  I'd do the seafood too. But, in the interest of fairness if Q is a hot topic with your brethren the New England BBQ Society http://www.nebs.org has a good site indicating Q is alive and well in the tundra, complete with some restaurant reviews from their outings.  Worth a read.

I agree and the lack of decent fish markets around the Boston area in what's supposed to be one of the seafood capitals of the world is puzzling. When I go to California I am amazed at the offerings by many marinas along the shore and even in markets.

As far as BBQ, if you want some great ribs and knowing you can get in and sit and enjoy it, go to Uncle Pete's in East Boston. Good stuff, plenty of seating unlike Blue Ribbon and without East Coast Grill prices. I like both these places, but Uncle Pete's fits what I'm looking for in BBQ just right.
