NEW RESTAURANT AT THE SEAPORT
A new seafood restaurant called Cobble Fish is open on Pier 16 (I assume this is just for the good weather) and bills itself as the only “locally owned and operated business on the pier.” They have lobster rolls for $24; fish tacos for $16; chicken sandwiches for $16. From their website: “It’s a spot where the locals (and some lucky tourists) go to meet friends, have a lobster club and enjoy a drink out on the pier away from the overpriced tourist fare.”
