Learn the art of cracking and savoring Maine's most iconic catch like a true local. This hands-on "lobster lesson" takes place at The Porthole Restaurant — one of Portland's oldest and most beloved waterfront landmarks.
Step into a cozy private dining space overlooking the harbor, where the scent of butter, sea salt, and freshly steamed lobster fills the air. Guided by friendly local experts, you'll master the technique of opening a lobster from claw to tail, uncovering every tender bite while hearing stories and traditions that celebrate Maine's deep maritime heritage. Blending laughter, storytelling, and mouthwatering flavors, this lively, Downeast dining experience captures the heart of Maine's seafaring spirit and the joy of a meal that's both rustic and refined.
Take a short stroll along Custom House Wharf, where the beat of Portland's working waterfront creates a timeless rhythm. Hear the gulls, watch the boats unloading their catch, and relish the atmosphere of Portland's living maritime heritage.
Come hungry, leave wiser, and proudly say you've cracked a lobstah the Maine way.
