Roger's Fish & Chips Opens at Logan Airport; Roger Berkowitz Behind the Place

Last summer, it was reported that a familiar name would be opening a new seafood place, and now we have learned that it is up and running.

According to a press release, Roger's Fish & Chips is now open at Logan Airport in East Boston, moving into a 700-square-foot space at Terminal A. As mentioned in an earlier article here, Roger Berkowitz--who was president and CEO of Legal Sea Foods before selling the business in 2020--is behind the dining spot, with Berkowitz also running Roger's Fish Co., an online seafood company that sells and ships flash-frozen seafood. Roger's Fish & Chips is a fast-casual counter service place that offers such items as clam chowder, fish and chips, a lobster BLT, crab cakes, and beer, cider, and frozen cocktails.
