Legal Fish Bowl Is Opening in Cambridge's Kendall Square

One of the Boston area's biggest names for seafood is debuting a new concept--and it could represent a launching pad for a brand new chain.

The Boston Globe is reporting that Roger Berkowitz of Legal Sea Foods is opening Legal Fish Bowl within the Legal space in Cambridge's Kendall Square, with the new place being a fast-casual eatery that will feature seafood bowls. The article says that the menu at Legal Fish Bowl will include six options for bowls, and that diners can choose custom bowls as well, with all options being in the range of $10 to $15. If the dining spot is a success, Berkowitz may consider turning Legal Fish Bowl into a chain, with standalone locations being part of the plan.

Legal Fish Bowl is hoping to open sometime this spring, according to the Globe.

The address for the new Legal Fish Bowl (and Legal Sea Foods) is 355 Main Street, Cambridge, MA, 02142. The website for the Legal Sea Foods chains can be found at https://www.legalseafoods.com/

Thanks to a source for initially bringing this to our attention, and thanks also to Foodservice East for first posting about the plans for the place.

[April 13 update: Eater Boston states that Legal Fish Bowl plans to open on April 20 in Kendall Square, with both EB and a source mentioning that the menu includes both "signature" bowls and custom bowls and can include rice, greens, noodles, veggies, dressings, and seafood options such as salmon, tuna, and shrimp along with non-seafood items such as tofu, chicken, and hard-boiled eggs.]

[April 19 update: A press release sent this morning confirms that Legal Fish Bowl will debut tomorrow (Thursday, April 20).]
