 Cajun tuna and the grilled shrimp have always been my
 favorites. Mussels au gratin are also a good bet for an appetizer.

 I totally disagree. I've been going to Legal for the last 8 years, and
 have never once been disappointed (except when they ran out of
 swordfish) In contrast, I'd say that SkipJacks is not nearly as
 consistent, but I've only been to the one in Brookline. I don't
 remember being too impressed with anything but the wine selection, for
 which I remember being charged like $6.50 + tax for a glass of Simi
 chardonnay.
