Berkowtize calls these a Liberal Offering of Mahi-Mahi for Obama versus Pan-Seared Cod in a Lobster Bourbon Sauce for Romney.

He says more willing to serve sides than choose them, Boston-based restaurant Legal Sea Foods has created two 'Presidential' plates that pay tribute to the home and adopted states of this year's candidates.

From October 24 through November 5, all Legal Sea Foods restaurants will let diners vote between a d-electable 'Blue Plate' or 'Red Plate' special. The 'Blue Plate' dish features macadamia-coconut crusted mahi-mahi with roasted brussels sprouts in a lime butter sauce, while the 'Red Plate' entree is a pan-seared cod with steamed spaghetti squash in bourbon lobster cream sauce. Both are priced at $25.95.

'If there is anything that can get people to reach across the aisle - or the table, in this instance - it's one of these deliciously partisan plates,' said Roger Berkowitz, president and CEO of Legal Sea Foods. 'Whether you lean left, stand in the middle or are to the right, both these seafood choices will get your vote.'

President Obama's Hawaiian birth inspired the mahi-mahi choice, while Mitt Romney's tenure as Massachusetts Governor called for the inclusion of a Bay State staple, cod.

Berkowitz explained that these unique dishes are the perfect choice given today's political debates.

'Fish is healthy, so you have healthcare covered. The price is attractive, so the economy will be bolstered. Both menu items are American-made, so it helps with jobs and the trade deficit. And as far as entitlements, we feel everyone is entitled to a delicious meal every day.'
