Captain Marden's restaurant in Wellesley is everything a New England fish house should be
Cioppino at Captain Marden's Seafoods Restaurant. Lane Turner/Globe Staff Advertisement What to eat Clam chowder, of course, which has just the right balance between thin and thick and a deliciously briny broth. A plump lobster roll, with skinny fries and good slaw. If there wasn't a lettuce leaf between the salad and bread, it would show off both better; the chef says many customers would disagree. A lovely tuna tartare, a cross between the one Ming Tsai made at Advertisement What to drink A new beer and wine license offers a pretty even mix of Old and New World wines. The list is cautious, but serviceable, and comfortably priced. Almost all the brews are from the region. The takeaway You'll find grilled seafood, fried seafood, raw oysters, shrimp, mussels, whole steamed lobster, baked stuffed lobster, even caviar — most of the items on a Cape or North Shore seafood menu. Reservations are accepted for groups of six only, so all the duos, trios, and quartets have to wait outside the restaurant, adjacent to an overflowing parking lot. Inside, there are more high-tops than I like (I'd never sit at one by choice), with some seats at a bar. Service is friendly and efficient, hosts are quite good at juggling the waitlist, it's easy to get in and out quickly if you're an Early Bird (the restaurant opens early and closes early), and no one's washing the floor around you if you're on the late side. Marden's has everything a casual New England seafood house should have, including the lines. 279 Linden St., Wellesley, 781-235-3737, . Entrees $17-$36 (prices on some items vary).

Fenway Park food in 2025 includes soup and grilled cheese at Boston Red Sox games
The Boston Red Sox open their 114th season at Fenway Park on Friday and there's plenty of new food for fans. Krispy Krunchy Chicken is now the official fried chicken of the Red Sox. Tenders and sandwiches will be available at the Kids Concourse, Gate E and the Truly Terrace. The Truly Terrace is also debuting the Cowboy Up! burger, which is topped with brisket, bacon, onion rings and barbecue sauce. It will be available at Homeplate Concessions.

For fans sitting through chilly night games early in the season, Homeplate Concessions is debuting the Fenway Soup Shack. Soups will include tomato, clam chowder and chicken noodle. They will also be available in bread bowls. Homeplate Concessions will also have the new PIG MAC sandwich, which features macaroni and cheese, pulled pork and bacon on sourdough bread. Outside Fenway, new concession carts on Jersey Street will be selling Chinese dumplings. Also outside on Jersey Street, a concession cart will have grilled cheese sandwiches made with Cabot Creamery cheese. The Bleacher Bowls stand that opened in the centerfield bleachers last year is back for 2025 with some new options. Pork carnitas street tacos with mango salsa are new this year. Also available is an elote, or Mexican street corn, salad made with red peppers, jalapenos and cojita cheese. For those with dietary restrictions, Fenway Park has gluten-free options, including gluten-free hot dog buns at the concession stand at Gate A and on the Sam Deck. Mings Bings, created by celebrity chef Ming Tsai , are vegan and gluten-free and can be found on the Sam Deck and outside Fenway on Jersey Street.

Veggie burgers and hot dogs are also available at the concession stand at Gate A and outside on Jersey Street. Traditional items, like the Fenway Frank, ice cream, French fries and burgers can still be found throughout Fenway Park.
