Sorry, but I have bad news on seafood in Cambridge. After being away for more than 2 years, I visited last week. Legals (I actually went to the burlington mall legals) had the same old quality, but the prices have nearly doubled in three years. Check the menu first, it may be a visa buster. Still good food! Last week was my first trip to dolphin seafood. Good prices, acceptable food. My friend had scallops over pasta, I had lobster and mussels. Everything was overcooked. The lobster, mussels, and scallops tasted good, but were dry and chewy. The pasta fell apart on the fork. There is a new restaurant (less than 3 years old), oriental cuisine on the south side of Mass ave just west of Central square. A large place, well lit. Sorry, but I don't remember the name. I had some good shrimp and scallops there. Don't remember if they had lobster. Your best bet, if you can get a car, is to go up to the north shore. Somewhere like Marblehead. Lots of good local places there. Gerard
