Most underrated local seafood savants: The Portuguese, Azorean, and Brazilian restaurants of East Cambridge
You already know that Chinatown's live-tank Hong Kong joints offer the freshest seafood in town (one minute swimming, the next on your plate), but our Portuguese-speaking chefs do equally stunning work with fish, crustaceans, and bivalves. Bring your out-of-town visitors to O Cantinho (1128 Cambridge Street, Cambridge, 617.354.3443), MuQueCa (1093 Cambridge Street, Cambridge, 617.354.3296), Casa Portugal (1200 Cambridge Street, Cambridge, 617.491.8880), or Portugalia (723 Cambridge Street, Cambridge, 617.491.5373) when you want to show them more delicious versions of our local briny bounty than American seafood chain outlets could ever muster.
