Legal Sea Foods
Legal Sea Foods® was born in 1950 when George Berkowitz opened a fish market in the Inman Square neighborhood of Cambridge, Massachusetts. He opened it adjacent to his father Harry's grocery store Legal Cash Market, where customers were given "Legal Stamps" (forerunners of S & H green stamps) with their purchases. It's here that the "Legal" name became synonymous with quality and freshness.
In 1968, the Berkowitz family opened its first seafood restaurant, right next to the fish market. George's son, Roger, has been at the helm since 1992 and has expanded the business into new markets while maintaining the company's focus on its proud tradition and core values. So when Legal Sea Foods say, "If it isn't fresh, it isn't Legal!®", they renew a commitment that has sustained their company for over a half-century.
