With so many great options, it’s like trying to choose your favorite child—something you just can’t do. But if a publication names their top pick, it feels a bit more acceptable. After all, it's just one opinion in a ‘sea’ of delicious choices.

But how does one even determine the best seafood restaurant anywhere, let alone in Maine?

Cheapism's methodology for determining ‘The Best Seafood Restaurant in Every State’ involved research by food writer Wilder Shaw. Shaw, who has over a decade of experience in food writing, considered various factors such as menu offerings, customer reviews, and the restaurant's reputation in the local community.

The research for this list included input from publications like Thrillist and The Washington Post. Shaw aimed to highlight exceptional seafood spots across the U.S., even in states far from the coast, ensuring a well-rounded selection of top seafood restaurants nationwide.

With that being said, what’s Cheapism’s selection for Maine’s best seafood restaurant?

Cheapism, along with Wilder Shaw, selected Eventide Oyster Co. in Portland as the best seafood restaurant in Maine. The publication had the following to say about their choice:

The picturesque shores of Portland, Maine, have no shortage of incredible seafood, but for bright, fun, and modern versions of all your favorite classics, hit Eventide Oyster Co. The brown butter lobster rolls are famous for a reason.
