Fire Hits Atlantic Fish Co., Other Back Bay Businesses

The Atlantic Fish Co., a seafood restaurant located in the Back Bay of Boston, sustained extensive damage in a fire that broke out early Saturday morning. According to WBZ, the fire seems to have been started by an electrical short circuit, with the total damage estimated at being around $1.6 million. Though Atlantic Fish is closed indefinitely, it appears that the restaurant may not have been a total loss and will hopefully be able to re-open in the near future.

Atlantic Fish is located at 761 Boylston Street in the heart of the Back Bay. It has been a popular seafood spot among locals and tourists alike since opening in 1978.
