About The Daily Catch

The Daily Catch opened on Hanover Street in the North End in 1973. Its founder, Paul Freddura, a first-generation Sicilian American, became known as the Calamari King. The kitchen cooks Sicilian-style seafood and pasta, including black squid ink pasta, and serves the pasta in the pan it was cooked in. Pastas on the current menu cost about $27.50 to $32, and fried calamari is $22.50. The family also runs a larger restaurant on the Waterfront at 65 Atlantic Avenue.
