After Washington Vibrio Scare, Is It Safe to Eat Oregon Oysters? | Eater Portland
"At the celebrated seafood market and restaurant owned by fishmonger and chef Lyf Gildersleeve, I found a business that prides itself on responsible, high-quality shellfish sourcing; when a few customers reported vibriosis after eating Washington oysters he was mortified, noting that beds are supposed to be tested weekly and closed when vibrio counts are high, and that his customers got sick before the beds were shut down — a situation he called awful and vowed to avoid by changing suppliers (he and other Portland seafood restaurants have stopped serving Washington oysters and are sourcing from places like Alaska and Maine)." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
Great value for lobster by the pound. We had them steam them for us and went to a park to enjoy them. Employees were super helpful! Highly recommend.

They made a mistake on our order and one lobster was diseased.
We ordered 3 x 1.5 - 2 lb hardshell and about 3 lbs of steamer (self picked). The steamers were perfect. When we got home and pulled them out for the pot, we instead had 4x soft shells and one (pictured) had shell disease and bad tasting (tail) meat, which we discarded with the rest.
Check your order BEFORE you leave.

Stopped in a couple days before we flew home to MN. The staff was very well let’s wait helpful and knowledgeable on what and what the best way to get fresh seafood back to MN. Paid $50 for a checked bag instead of $150 shipping and bright back fresh lobster, shrimp, haddock, and salmon.

The people make all the difference. The quality and price for their seafood is excellent. Every time I'm in Portland I plan to stop here. Highly recommend the haddock, scallops and lobster among other fine seafood. Excellent service with great young people who enjoy what they do.

This is my go-to stop for fresh seafood while in Portland. Always delicious, good assortment and good prices. Employees are always pleasant. I highly recommend picking up some of their spicy crab dip, too!

Local seafood shop to grab super fresh seafood during your visit to Portland or on the way home. We stopped by to pickup fresh fish, oysters and lobster meat to share with our friends back home. They have ice to pack your cooler so be sure to bring that along.

I live in Florida and was traveling in Maine heading to Mass and bought four large lobsters and scallops here. The people were super helpful as well as genuinely friendly. I will definitely go back and highly recommend them for their service and quality. BTW the lobsters were tender even though they were over 2.5 lbs each as were the scallops.
