Legal Sea Foods began in 1950 as a fish market in the Inman Square neighborhood of Cambridge, Massachusetts. It’s here that the “Legal” name became synonymous with quality and freshness. In 1968, our first seafood 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 now, six decades later with restaurants along the Eastern Seaboard, the commitment to freshness and quality endures: "If it isn't fresh, it isn't Legal!”

A successful nationwide franchise, Cousins Maine Lobster garnered national fame after their appearance on ABC's Shark Tank. They partnered with Shark and real estate mogul Barbara Corcoran and now operate over 35 trucks and 9 restaurants across the US. They currently gross over $40 million a year in sales. Cousins Maine Lobster has been featured on The Food Network, Good Morning America, Fox Business, The Today Show, CNBC, The Cooking Channel, and more. Started in 2012 by real-life Cousins and Mainers, Jim Tselikis and Sabin Lomac, Cousins Maine Lobster began with two things: A Food Truck, and a shared vision to extend the highest-quality Maine lobster to the lobster-starved masses by making it affordable and accessible. Cousins Maine Lobster brings an authentic Maine seafood experience by staying close to the source and proudly serving only premium, wild-caught, sustainably harvested lobster from Maine, accompanied by their signature Downeast Maine hospitality.

In 1976, a sport fisherman, business partner, boat captain, and gourmet chef joined forces to open The Fish Market. Not one of them had notable experience in the restaurant business, but their individual and collective passion for seafood was deep enough to drive them toward their vision: A lively, welcoming restaurant serving the freshest seafood, prepared to perfection, at an honest price.
