It's not something a lot of Boston seafood restaurants are as good at.
And consistency with an absolute certainty is a major factor for many people - whether it is due to allergies or for other reasons. And there is nothing wrong with that....IMO if one is happy with food received for $$$ paid, you had a good meal.
