A serious dose of spice and tang is sometimes just what you need to balance out briny, ocean-fresh flavors. That’s why they've taken Legal Sea Foods’ in-house recipe for cocktail sauce and kicked it up a notch with extra horseradish, jalapeños and a sprinkling of chili powder. Delightfully zippy, it’ll make your taste buds tingle when enjoyed with chilled shrimp or raw oysters.

About Legal Sea Foods

The brand Legal Sea Foods was born in 1950 with the Berkowitz family opening of a fish market in the Inman Square neighborhood of Cambridge, Massachusetts. At that time there was also a related family business adjacent to the market, a grocery store, known as Legal Cash Market, where customers were given “Legal Stamps” (forerunners of S&H green stamps) with their purchases. It’s here that the “Legal” name became synonymous with quality and freshness.

In 1968, the first Legal Sea Foods restaurant opened, right next to the fish market. The fish was simply prepared, either broiled or fried, and served on paper plates at communal picnic tables. Despite the low-key trappings, the food was second to none and word quickly spread. This early success led to further expansion; and, ultimately led PPX Hospitality Brands (another Boston-based restaurant company and the parent company to Legal Sea Foods Restaurant Group Inc.) to acquire the corporate facility (Quality Control Center) and 23 restaurants as of December 2020. More recently in 2023, the corporate facility was renamed PPX Hospitality Brands – HQ (Company Headquarters) and moved to Boston Fish Pier.
