The Nautilus - Review - Seaport District - Boston - The Infatuation

"This is one of the top spots on Nantucket, and we’re thrilled it landed in the Seaport a couple of years ago. Nautilus Pier 4 does dishes from all over the place—New England, Latin America, the Mediterranean, and across Asia—with a heavy focus on seafood. It’s a great place to sit outside if you want a view of the harbor, but the inside is so extremely blue and shiny it feels like you’re about to descend to the bottom of the Atlantic on a very slick submarine. Order the crab fried rice and tempura oyster tacos that made the Nantucket location a hit, and sip on their absurdly delicious cocktails like the Island Boi, made with coconut and pineapple rums, tamarind, and orgeat. Food Rundown Blue Crab Fried Rice This dish deserves the hype it gets from Nantucket to the Seaport. The chunks of sweet blue crab taste like they had a tryst with a lemon, and the whole thing gets a crispy fried egg on top. Make good use of the fish-sauce-heavy nam jim on the side. photo credit: Nautilus Pier 4 Spoon Tuna Chips And Dip This is basically fancy tuna salad with dashi mayo that gives everything an extra savory, kelpy twang. People order this to munch on while drinking chenin blanc and talking about Bill Belichick’s latest age gap romance. And you should, too." - Tanya Edwards
