Saturday's Globe reported on the opening of the new Legal Seafoods processing plant, and the implications for Boston's seafood industry and job creation.

Since 2000, eleven other seafood processors besides Legal [Seafoods] have moved into three new buildings with 105,000 total square feet, including the $10.5 million, 65,000-square-foot Harbor Seafood Center, said Lowell L. Richards III, chief of development for the Massachusetts Port Authority, which manages Boston's commercial port, Logan International Airport, and much of the city's waterfront real estate. ...

"The Legal plant demonstrates that Greater Boston is among the world's top fish processing locations and that the port is still a center for skilled blue-collar jobs."
