The 16 Best Lobster Rolls In Maine - Portland, ME - The Infatuation

"Eventide Oyster Co is a seafood go-to in Portland, where you can spend an evening trying more than a dozen different local bivalves with accoutrements like kimchi and horseradish ice. You might raise an eyebrow at Eventide’s non-traditional brown butter preparation and steamed bun, but sometimes innovation is a path to greatness. The steamed bun feels like a happy marriage between the New England hot dog roll and a bao, the sprinkled chives add some brightness, and the pillowy soft dough absorbs the extra moisture from the browned butter without leaving it a soggy mess. It also doesn’t hurt that you can also order a few dozen excellent fresh oysters and a bottle of Italian sauv blanc while you’re people-watching at the bar." - anne cruz, carlo mantuano
