Peachy Deegan's Favorite Way to Be Crabby in January: Cream of Crab Soup by Legal Sea Foods

You have heard us go on about how fabulous Legal Sea Foods chowders are: 
First we told you about our old-time favorite New England Clam Chowder.
Then we told you about the Rhode Island Red Chowder that has quite a kick.
We think the Cream of Crab could be our favorite!  If you read Peachy's Picks, you'll see that Peachy Deegan orders crabcakes at nearly every opportunity so this is no surprise.   We love crabcakes, we love crab legs, and we love Cream of Crab soup!  If we can't be sitting on the beach cracking crab legs this is the next best thing, and is just what we need in this nasty cold weather.


The rich chowder with humongous chunks of crab that will infiltrate your daydreams for hours after lunch or dinner!  This is simply delicious and will bring warm delight into your meal and stomach. This truly is the best way to be crabby in Manhattan in January!  Whom You Know highly recommends Legal Sea Foods Cream of Crab soup.  Remember you do not have to be in Boston to enjoy Legal Sea Foods.

ABOUT LEGAL SEA FOODS

The secret of success for a family of restaurants fifty years in the making in the ultra-competitive world of upscale dining - “If it isn’t fresh, it isn’t Legal!”

Legal Sea Foods, Inc. has set the standard for quality and freshness in the seafood and restaurant business and has long proven that a consistent, high quality dining experience never goes out of style.  If there’s ever a doubt, the wait lines outside of its restaurants attest to its enduring appeal.

Seafood is synonymous with Boston and Legal Sea Foods is Boston's most famous seafood restaurant.  Yet it all started from modest means.  In 1968, George Berkowitz opened a restaurant adjacent to his fish market in Cambridge.  Although the trappings weren’t fancy – paper plates and picnic tables were in plenty – the seafood was second to none and word spread quickly.  This early success paved the way for the family philosophy: Legal must remain primarily a fish company, though also in the restaurant business. 

Legal Sea Foods prefers buying product from fishermen who operate day boats.  Otherwise, it buys fish that is “top of catch” or hauled on-board boats just before landing.  This practice is costly, but Legal won’t do it any other way.  Exerting more time, money and effort on assuring quality than any other company in the business, Legal has been professionally and scientifically guaranteeing food safety to such an extent that the U.S. government asked them to spearhead a project that today is known as HACCP -- Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points.  This inspection and testing program is just now being introduced to the general population of seafood dealers but Legal has been practicing its principles for years.

Legal Sea Foods has cast a wider net and now operates 30 locations up and down the eastern seaboard in addition to catering and mail order divisions.  The “Legal Legend” has garnered scores of honors and awards including “Best Seafood Restaurant in America” – NBC Today Show; “Top 10 Tried-and-True Restaurants in America” – Bon Appetite Magazine; “Best Seafood Restaurant in Boston” – Zagat Report.  Recognition for food quality and safety were bestowed most notably by The New York Times and National Geographic.  Even US Presidents have given their bi-partisan seals of approval. Legal’s clam chowder has been served at every inauguration since 1981.    

National audiences have fallen for Legal hook, line and sinker.  George’s son, Roger, is now at the helm working hard to make sure the company continues to live up to its proud tradition and core values.
