Fresh from the sea

Boston has a long maritime tradition, and this New England city has always had a special connection to the sea, from the days of the whaling boats. A good way to see the city of Boston is with a charter bus, coach bus, party bus, mini bus, passenger coaches or school bus chartered from Bus Charter Boston. Travel around the city in style and comfort as your charter bus driver takes care of the driving duties.
There is a possibly nothing worse than walking into a seafood restaurant and finding out that the fresh seafood you were promised isn’t fresh. The very best seafood is never frozen at all, and should be prepared in such a way that the flavors are emphasized, not overwhelmed. Get off your charter bus at the No Name Restaurant at Fish Pier Street. There is absolutely nothing fancy about this seafood shack, where service is perfunctory and you will be sharing tables with strangers, but locals and tourists alike keep coming back for its ultra fresh salmon, lobster and sole. If you’re in a charter bus group, the seafood platter of broiled oysters, scallops, shrimp and scrod will keep a small army happy.
For great views of Boston’s waterfront, try making a reservation for your charter bus group at Rowes Wharf Sea Grille. If you happen to visit during the summer, try and grab a seat on the always crowded terrace and enjoy Chef Daniel Bruce’s creations al fresco. The menu is creatively designed to bring out the best of the flavors in the seafood, using less common ingredients. An example would be the oysters with saffron mignonette or the golden buttermilk fried Ipswich belly clams. Wines on Rowes Wharf list are personally hand picked by the Chef, and are meant to perfectly complement your meal. Many come back to ask for the 2 pound Maine lobster, and miso-glazed, sesame-crusted seared Scottish salmon served with a baby bok choy stir-fry.
Take a charter bus over the river to Cambridge, and drop by Jasper White’s Summer Shack. Dedicated to seafood done in the traditional New England style, your charter bus driver won’t miss the giant statue of a fisherman decorating the front door. The atmosphere here is casual, and the picnic table style seating arrangements are particularly well suited to charter bus groups. The menu is comfortingly traditional, with some surprises like cod cakes and bacon wrapped monkfish. Most of the fish dishes are prepared over a wood grill, allowing the delicate smoked flavor of the seafood to come through.
