Fish and sips

The city's Licensing Board will hold a hearing on Jan. 23 at 10 a.m. to hear a liquor license request from Off the Boat Seafood. The beer, wine and liqueur license in question would be transfered from the El Cafetal Restaurant in Allston.

Off the Boat, at 26 Porter Street just outside East Boston's Central Square, opened in November 2006 in the renovated storefront of an old fish store. Thanks to Joe Mason for forwarding me the announcement of the hearing.

Way to go Joe M. Now I won't have to drive to Belle Isle. I loved Freddie the Fish. Bring the ferry back to Maverick. This is great for lent.

Says to Cant stand it.

The ferry will never be back,due to lazy people who refuse to get out of thier cars. We tried it,and as with all things,if no one uses it ,you can't pay the workers,or insurance,or maintain it,so it closed.

You have not had to drive to Belle Isle for a long time,as this place has been open for a long time,and has awesome food..

So I would like to ask do you live here?

Have a good day.Its going to be interesting to see the reaction on this application.

Special Thanks to Jimbo for posting it.

Just out of curiosity… does “Off the Boat” even have seats in the establishment or for that matter a license to have seats… will the beer and wine be “To Go” ??

Not yet. The folks at "Off The Boat" are in the process of renovating an addition that will operate separately from their take-out business. As I understand it, they plan to offer mostly the higher end menu items in the dining room and the liquor license will complement that. The proprietors are responsible business owners that have been in the restaurant industry for decades.
