The Barking Crab

          The Barking Crab is the type of seafood place you'd find at the beach (think picnic tables, tents, outdoor seating) located in the heart of the city- Boston's seaport district. It's a great spot for drinks after work, and traditional New England seafood. I went with the fiance a few weeks ago for dinner on the first nice day of the season and the place was packed! We ordered a little bit of everything to share including all of the standards.

Half Dozen Oysters with Cocktail Sauce and Mignonette

Fried Whole Belly Clams

New England Clam Chowder

Steamed Lobster and Crab Leg Combo with Drawn Butter

          Everything was delicious and incredibly fresh! The clam chowder rich and creamy, the fried clams had huge bellies and the lobster and crab came with a very generous portion. We were way too full for dessert, but I've heard great things about the Boston cream pie and next time I go I'll be sure to leave room!
