Red’s Best Seafood – Boston Public Market

Red’s Best is a fish market and kitchen inside Boston Public Market, and the fish here comes straight off New England boats. Founder Jared Auerbach started the company in 2008 after years working on commercial boats in Alaska and on Cape Cod, and it still tracks every catch back to the boat that landed it.

Order the fish and chips, beer-battered local haddock with fries and cornichon tartar for $18, or go big with the $38 lobster roll, six ounces of meat on grilled brioche. There’s an oyster raw bar Friday through Sunday, plus a scallop roll, an oyster po’ boy and clam chowder. Grab some fresh fish from the case on your way out.
