Mainers take their seafood so seriously, and that’s no exaggeration. If you asked 100 Mainers what their favorite seafood is, you’d probably get 100 different answers!

So, with that in mind, how do we determine which seafood restaurant is the best in Maine, let alone one of the best in America?

Cheapism's report, ‘The Best Seafood Restaurant in Every State,’ was compiled by staff writer Wilder Shaw, who has over a decade of food-writing experience. Using reviews, expert opinions, and local reputation, the list highlights top seafood spots across the U.S., even in landlocked states.

Now that we've covered that, which seafood restaurant in Maine is being recognized as one of the best in the country?

According to Cheapism and their report, ‘The Best Seafood Restaurant in Every State,’ their pick for the best seafood restaurant in Maine is Eventide Oyster Co. in Portland. Here's what Cheapism had to say about their selection:

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.

Of course, we can all think critically and understand that just because one publication calls a restaurant the ‘best’ doesn’t mean it’s the best for everyone.

Maine is packed with incredible seafood spots from top to bottom, offering something for every taste. Some other favorite restaurants include the Eagle's Nest in Brewer, The Porthole in Portland, and Robert’s Maine Grill in Kittery.

Well, there you have it! According to Cheapism, Eventide Oyster Co. in Portland is not only the best seafood restaurant in Maine but also one of the best in America!
