After a Red Sox win, Bostonians head to Island Creek Oyster Bar right around the corner from Fenway Park for a celebratory blowout (so maybe steer clear during game days)! The chic food destination boasts of a diverse assortment of impeccable seafood options, a lighthearted cocktail menu, and an impressive wine list—you’ll want to have everything! Must-eats at Island Creek Oyster Bar include the Crispy Oyster Slider (oysters and chili lime aioli on Brioche rolls), followed by the life-changing Lobster Roe Noodles (pasta dish made of grilled lobster, braised short rib, oyster mushrooms, topped with Pecorino cheese).

Family-owned Rainbow Seafood Restaurant has been serving a fun dining escape to locals and tourists alike since 1984, giving away free boat rides to hungry guests from nearby piers. Their specialties are best enjoyed with company, their portions massive enough for sharing between big groups. Make sure to order signature dishes such as Rainbow Fish Garoupa, Baked Lobster with Butter Sauce, and Spicy Prawns.

If there’s a dish that emerged from Hong Kong’s bygone typhoon shelter culture, it’s the classic spicy crab. Under Bridge is a well-known spot that serves the iconic dish with their own flavorful twist of toasted garlic, shallots, and spring onions. The restaurant also offers other hearty specialties including Sautéed Scallops, Stir-Fried Squid, and Boiled Spicy Whelks with Chinese Wine—all approved by no less than the late but great Anthony Bourdain!

I always thought this was the bar to the adjacent bowling alley, but it’s actually a nice little seafood spot. Not bad at all.
