I never thought that Union Oyster House was anywhere near the best place in town for seafood, so perhaps you saw something that I missed. My impression is that it was a decent oyster bar, but that the fish was seldom fresh and not cooked in a very innovative fashion. If you want traditional recipes, I think that Durgin Park (around the corner from Union Oyster House) does them much better. > Also curious about Legal Seafood. I've heard > it's very touristy. Anyone have any comments? Actually, I think that it's less touristy than Union Oyster House. I have found that Skipjacks or Turner's are about as good and perhaps less crowded. Also you might look into the Daily Catch in the North End and on the waterfront, if you want Italian style seafood, heavy on calamari (squid), and the Village Fish in Brookline Village (ditto). Happy eating.--Rob

Try the monkfish scampi, their freshly made fried calamari, and squid ink pasta. Enjoy!

I too like the Daily Catch, but if you're the sort of person who can't stand to eat elbow-to-elbow with your fellow diners, it won't be for you. The tables, all 6 of them, are jammed in to the front of the restaurant. You sit basicly in the kitchen, so the smell is wonderful. Waitstaff is very attentive and friendly. Food is amazingly fresh and well prepared. Very truly yours, Ms. Margo
