Daily Catch

Frommer's Review

About the size of a large kitchen (it seats just 20), this storefront restaurant packs a wallop -- of garlic. A North End favorite since 1973, it offers excellent food, chummy service, and very little elbow room. The surprisingly varied menu includes an impressive variety of calamari (try it fried, in squid-ink pasta puttanesca, or stuffed with bread crumbs, parsley, and garlic) and a tempting selection of broiled, fried, and sautéed fish and shellfish. One of the pickiest eaters I know comes here from New York just for the monkfish Marsala. All food is prepared to order, and some dishes arrive at the table still in the frying pan.

This is the original Daily Catch. The Harborwalk branch, at the Moakley Federal Courthouse, 2 Northern Ave., on the South Boston waterfront (tel. 617/772-4402; T: Silver Line to Courthouse), is open Monday through Thursday 11am to 10pm, Friday until 11pm, and weekends 4 to 10pm, and accepts credit cards (AE, MC, V).
