This fresh cajun seafood house with two locations, one in Allston and one in Lowell, serves up the best seafood boil in Massachusetts. What’s even better is that you can customize your seafood boil completely, from the seafood to the sauce and the sides. Make sure you come hungry to Holly Crab because there’s a lot of delicious cajun seafood to go around.
