Stuffed lobster at Legal Seafoods, the signature dish of Boston

Boston is known for its Seafood. This is not surprising because the city is located at the Atlantic Ocean. The specialty is Stuffed Lobster. This is a lobster they cut open, stretch a bit in the middle and fill it with scallops, shrimps, vegtables, and cover it with bread croutons. The restaurant "Legal Seafoods" had been recommended to me. It looks very simple and at first I was reluctant to try it. But what the hec, lets go for it. Willing to try the speciality, I order the stuffed lobster. The waitress asks me for the size of the lobster, looking at the small price differences, I decided to go for the large portion. What a surprise to get my plate, I have never seen a lobster this size, it must have been between 1,5 and 2,0 kg. It was excellent. No more doubts, the next time that I am in Boston, I will go back to Legal Seafoods and take the same stuffed lobster.

Boston staat bekend voor zijn zeevruchten en vis. Dit is niet verwonderlijk daar de havenstad gelegen is aan de Atlantische Oceaan. Hun specialiteit is de opgevulde kreeft. Ze snijden de kreeft in twee en strekken deze uit in de breedte, vullen ze op met Jacobsnoten, garnalen, groentjes, en bedekken het geheel met brood croutons. Het restaurant "Legal Seafoods" werd mij aanbevolen, maar door de eenvoudige uitstraling was ik wat terughoudend het te proberen. Maar toch ging ik ervoor. Daar ik hun specialiteit wilde uitproberen bestelde ik de opgevulde kreeft (stuffed lobster). De serveerster vroeg me hoe groot de kreeft diende te zijn en gezien de geringe prijs verschillen op de kaart koos ik de grote versie. Wat een verrassing toen mijn bord verscheen, nog nooit had ik zo'n grote kreeft gezien. Ze woog tussen de 1,5 en 2,0 kg en was uitstekend. Geen enkele twijfel meer, bij mijn volgende bezoek aan Boston, ga ik terug naar Legal Seafoods voor mijn opgevulde kreeft.
