"Yes, we know Belle Isle Seafood isn’t technically in East Boston. But if a short bridge is enough to keep you away from some of the best fried clams, lobster pie, and chowder this city has to offer, we feel sorry for you. This bare-bones restaurant and fish market is basically a New England candy store, and in the summer, when you can sit outside and smell the jet fuel-laced air, it’s the place you’ll want to be." - joel ang
