The Daily Catch

When people talk about the true character of the 'old' North End, chances are they're envisioning the Daily Catch. It's essentially a kitchen nook with a blackboard menu, juice glasses in lieu of stemware and skillets that double as plates. It doesn't take credit cards, or even have a bathroom. But boy, has it got calamari - fried, stuffed, marinated and chilled, chopped and pressed into delicious meatballs. Squid ink, meanwhile, gives the linguine a kick - as does garlic galore.
