Boston native | Finally got to eat seafood pasta

🦞 The Daily Catch (Waterfront): Boston’s “Iconic” Seafood—Solid, But Not Life-Changing Lived in Boston for nearly 5 years and finally tried The Daily Catch! Walked in at noon on a Saturday and got a table right away—crowds were manageable. It’s a Boston staple, but for me? Good, not great. 🍝 The Dishes Lobster Fra Diavolo ($95, 2-person): 🦞 A heaping plate with 1 whole lobster, clams, shrimp, squid, and spicy red sauce over pasta. Tasty, but nothing mind-blowing. The sauce has a mild kick, seafood is fresh, and portions are huge (easily feeds 4). Classic, but not “wow.” Monkfish Masala (~$30): 🐟 The surprise. Monkfish has a firm, meaty texture—like lobster meets scallop. Served with a tangy mushroom sauce that cuts richness. More interesting than the lobster dish, honestly. Local Oysters (1/2 dozen, $21): � oysters Fresh, but small—briny, with a clean finish. The mignonette is simple, which lets the oysters shine. Shrimp Cocktail (1/2 dozen, $19): 🦐 Plump, bouncy shrimp with a tomato-based sauce (same as the oysters). Fresh, but standard—nothing to write home about. Sicilian Chickpea Salad ($13): 🥗 Tangy, bright, and acidic—chickpeas, almonds, bell peppers, eggplant, and lemon. Refreshing, but very sour (fits their Sicilian vibe). ✨ The Verdict It’s clear this spot leans into Sicilian flavors—lots of acidity, bold seafood, no fussy frills. For $50 per person, it’s decent, but not memorable. Great for tourists checking a “Boston seafood” box, but locals might crave more excitement. 📍 The Daily Catch (Waterfront) 65 Atlantic Ave, Boston, MA 02110 #BostonSeafood #SicilianEats #TouristFave
