Description:
BACK BAY. A beloved part of the Boston scene since the late 1970s, Atlantic Fish sports an updated atmosphere these days – in other words, the original's galley look was traded in for a more polished scene of stained wood, pendant lights, coffered ceiling and crisp white linens. The menu, though hasn't changed all that much over the years (Hey, why mess with a good thing!), and Atlantic's kitchen continues to serve up timeless raw bar classics like shrimp cocktail, iced Littleneck clams and Blue Point oysters. Patio dining is available. |

Description:
SOUTH END. A sleek, stylish raw bar? Thanks to owner Barbara Lynch (of No. 9 Park fame), that's just what B&G is. The sub-level space is subtly (that is, unpretentiously) contemporary, featuring blue and gray tiles, stainless steel elements, and an open kitchen. The raw bar eats are fronted by fresh local oysters, clams, scallops and shrimp. Meanwhile, creative main courses like bacon-wrapped cod, wild striped bass with squid puttanesca, and Italian fish stew are themselves superbly done. Patio dining is available during the warm seasons. |

Description:
BACK BAY. Nothing preempts a game at Fenway quite like a stopover at the Back Bay edition of Jasper White's Summer Shack family, where the mood is proverbially light-hearted and the raw bar case never seems to suffer from a shortage of fresh oysters, clams, shrimp and lobsters (heck, it holds somewhere in the neighborhood of 4-K shellfish!) If seafood isn't your bag, their versatile menu also lists burgers, corn dogs, fried chicken and even meatloaf. Designed to look like a modern version of a roadside shack, the space gets packed, especially during the summer. Priority seating available. |

Description:
FINANCIAL DISTRICT. Established in 1826, this casual establishment is the oldest continuously operating restaurant in the US and consists of a dark, pub-like dining room, oyster bar, restaurant, and drink bar. John F. Kennedy had a favorite booth here while practicing law in his early days, and you can now reserve it for parties of five or six. The place is said to serve the best clam chowder in New England, along with fresh seafood and excellent Bloody Marys. Oysters are delicious, and diners may choose to sit in cozy booths and order from the menu or find a perch at the popular raw bar. |

Description:
WATERFRONT. "If it isn't fresh, it isn't legal" is this restaurant's mantra and they pride themselves on offering only the freshest seafood available. Rich, creamy clam chowder is a specialty, and the raw bar fare enjoys its share of devotees. You'll also find wood-grilled swordfish, fried oysters, and a great cioppino. Daily and seasonal specials abound, and fresh Maine lobsters are cracked tableside on request. A Boston institution since 1968, Legal has seven locations in the immediate area alone, but the one at Long Wharf is particularly impressive, thanks to its outdoor dining area and awesome views of the harbor. |

NORTH END. Intimate and old-school cool, Neptune sports a pressed-tin ceiling, floor tiles and marble-topped tables. It's the raw bar, though, that truly sets this place apart, thanks to seasonal ditties like Ipswich clams (fried, of course) and a dozen or so varieties of oysters. The wait staff is also extremely knowledgeable and happy to help customers decipher the raw bar menu, so diners receive the freshest and juiciest bivalves every visit. |
