Seafood (not Legal) in Cambridge?

I'm drawing a blank on this one.

I have an important out-of-town visitor to entertain for dinner next week. They are on a diet and suggested that we find a place with seafood - or otherwise something light. Another member of the party is vegetarian. Ideal location would be in Cambridge, with a slight preference for Harvard Square. Does not need to be very fancy - Rialto would be overdoing it - but we're not talking Courthouse Seafood either.

Any ideas? Of course the place need not be solely seafood, but a couple of lighter options is what we're looking for.

Come to think of it, Oleana would fit the bill, although I was just there recently. Others?

Thanks!

    Casablanca's menu has a number of smaller plates, many of which are seafood or vegetarian. The bar is quite cozy.

        how about east coast grill in Inman square? not sure if its too casual for you. I would probably go to oleana though.

          East Coast Grill, Blue Room, and Rendezvous all do perfectly competent, sometimes outstanding seafood, as well as a number of lighter grilled choices.

          Chez Henri always has one or two lightish seafood dishes on the menu (although I always go for the heavy Cubano sandwiches at the bar). Atasca is a little further away, but has plenty of lighter seafood options.
