Drydock Cafe 7 Drydock Avenue, Boston, MA 02210

"I had heard about this place from a local and I had always wanted to try it. I finally made the time to go and it was awesome. They are only open for dinner one day a week which is on Friday nights until 8:00 p.m. I ordered the fisherman's platter because it offered a variety of seafood. It had shrimp, haddock fillet, calamari, scallops, fried clams with the bellies, french fries and coleslaw. The service was prompt and efficient and the food came out quickly. One of the major problems with ordering Seafood is that it is often too overly breaded and you taste more of the bread comes than you do of the seafood itself. That was not the case here. Everything was had a light bread coating that didn't interfere with the the subtle flavors of the various types of seafood. My server Sophia was prompt courteous and checked in on me regularly to make sure that I had everything I needed. I will definitely make time to go back."

"Odd the beaten path, but ironically right "on top" of the source, is the lovely out of the way seafood joint. Flying into Logan International and hitting the coast, I craved seafood. A quick search you'll find many locations, but this stood out. The location was part of it, but the description and such smacked of a "fisherman's joint" with swagger vs. pomp and vibrato of the hoity toity fish houses. Given the choice, I always choose the former. Arriving, there's parking to be had despite the challenging location. Entering the facility, there's nothing especially unique with a simple cafe decor. It's understandable, but patrons are filling the seats amply. I arrive an hour before close. The lead waitress in typical New England style is a little rough around the edges, but once you get to know she's helpful and pleasant and I make a friend. The menu is complete with burgers and chicken and even pasta. But I came for fish. The fish menu is simple but shows the focus on clean fish. I opt for the swordfish tip platter. The food arrives with a simple presentation. I opted for mashed potatoes versus rice, the swordfish tips, and broccoli. The broccoli is simple and I put a little bit of salt and pepper and butter out. It's fresh and delicious. Next bite is the swordfish tips, absolutely lovely. I took another bite, wow! This is goodness. I start pounding. Such. Good. Fish. I learned later. This is a cafe that is fronts for the North Coast Fish Company which means the fish is fresh and literally right from the dock behind the walls. What a great experience and a great find. This will be my go-to whenever I come back to Logan international. Thanks for the tasty food, perfect Bostonian rough edge, and a little bit of laughter about it all. You done good!!"

"My friends and I had heard of this place through another friend, so we went to check it out. The location is somewhat awkward to find since it seemed to be a later addition/alteration to the building. We all got the fishermans plate, which is a big plate of a bunch of fried seafood with haddock, scallops, calamari, large shrimp, and clams. It was amazing! I generally love seafood, and this was cooked and breaded to perfection. Their tartar sauce they had was a perfect combination with it being the perfect balance of flavorful without being overwhelming. The Fishermans platter is the most expensive menu item (unless I had missed something) and has a ton of seafood, so my price per person may be vastly different from the rest of the menu, I would think for someone just getting a platter of something is less than 20 bucks for most of it but with drink and any entres would bump into the $20-$30 area but if everyone gets fishermans platters it is gonna be closer to $40 per person."
