5 seafood rooms in Portland we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Portland | Seafood across every city.
Seafood is the reason much of the country knows Portland, and the city's best rooms sit steps from the working waterfront. Eventide Oyster Co on Middle Street, in the India Street district, redrew the raw bar with its brown-butter lobster roll and wall of Maine oysters, while Scales on Commercial Street in the Old Port leans into the classic dockside fish house. Boone's Fish House on Custom House Wharf serves it right over the water.
