Learn to Shuck, Maine Style

From Shucking 101 in our Portland Academy to oyster farm tours and lobster bakes at Basecamp on the coast — our experiences are hands-on, unpretentious, and built around the working waterfront.

Two locations, one philosophy: teach the craft, share the story, leave with a skill you'll use for life.

Maine Oyster Regions, Farms & What We Do

Coastal Quadrants

Farmer Regions

Discover the distinct coastal quadrants that shape the flavor, texture, and identity of Maine oysters. From the brisk, nutrient-rich currents of the Damariscotta River to the warm, protected inlets of the New Meadows River, each region offers a signature maritime terroir. Taste deep-channel classics like Pemaquid Oysters, vibrant small-batch harvests from Merritt Island, or the clean, briny profiles of Love Point Oysters. Explore the full lineup in our Farmer Regions collection and find your perfect slurp.

What We Do

We offer oysters and lobster in Portland Maine from our oyster bar along with shipped overnight Maine oysters direct from the Maine oyster farmers themselves. Search the famous Damariscotta River Oyster region or up & coming regions including Casco Bay or oysters from the New Meadows River.
