The most famous oyster bar in Maine. A long granite slab in the middle of the room is buried in ice and twenty kinds of local oyster; the kitchen sends out a Maine-revisionist take on the New England raw bar — brown-butter lobster rolls on steamed buns, kelp pickles, smoked bluefish pâté.
Walk-in only and almost always a wait at peak hours, but the line moves. 86 Middle Street. Open daily.
