New York Times 25 Best Restaurants in Boston including this one in the neighborhood
The New York Times recently announced its list of the 25 Best Restaurants in Boston (and Boston is used loosely as many of these restaurants are in Brookline, Cambridge and beyond)! This one close by was included!
Belle Isle Seafood
Don’t let anyone tell you being a fry cook isn’t a noble calling. Especially when frying seafood, where the margin between perfectly done and overcooked is measured in seconds. Belle Isle Seafood — essentially a waterfront warehouse with views of arriving flights at Logan International Airport — has clearly battered and deep-fried many tons of haddock, scallops and onion rings. A plate of fried pick-your-protein will arrive oversized, with an ideal combination of nongreasy and satisfyingly crisp. For the fried-averse, the lobster pie is fabulous but hardly more calorically advisable: a half-pound of lobster meat topped with breadcrumbs and butter and baked until golden, a direct line to the pleasure centers of the brain.
