Turner's Seafood

“My family’s go-to in Salem. Reliable seafood and not too touristy. Also, the site where the first long-distance phone call (to Boston) was placed. My main rec for Salem is the Peabody Essex Museum. A world-class museum, with its roots in the goods brought back by sea captains, but today with a cosmopolitan and eclectic collection, ranging from contemporary art of India to an entire 19th-century Chinese house (and fabulous hands-on exhibits for kids).”
