Please Help! Recommended Seafood!

Hi all.

I know this has probably been asked a million times on this board, but as a newbie, I need a bit of help. Myself and my wife are coming to Boston from the U.K next weekend for a weeks holiday, and really need some help deciding on a decent seafood place to eat at. Being from London, I am well aware of tourist trape and massive mark-ups for sub-standard produce so will really wish to avoid that if possible

We both want to try lobster, as we've never really eaten it before. I know it sounds cheesy as hell, but we are kinda hoping for the whole experience..... bib. hammers etc, and due to us being lobster novices, friendly staff that are willing to explain where the best meat is and best way of getting it out!

That may be the Holy Grail, and I know I'll get some varying responses, but I really am in need of help! I don't want to go somewhere are be absolutely gutted after the meal that we wasted our time and money in there!

I have booked up a table for mid-week in Legal Seafoods (Long Wharf) but can easily cancel if there is a distinct possibility I will regret going there!

Thanks in advance

Greg
