Learn about Maine's most famous crustacean and the men and women who make their living from trap to table. Stroll along Portland's vital working waterfront , view lobster boats often unloading their catch and visit Old Port and waterfront district destinations for a progressive, iconic Maine lunch.
- This walking tour is appx. 1 - 1.5 miles visiting local favorites with plenty of food, and food for thought - lots of time for Q/A.
- There's always a whole lobster roll, a New England clam or seafood chowder, local craft beer (or soda) plus a whoopie pie or other Maine sweet, and a surprise seafood taste or two along the way. This is our most “classic heritage” Maine experience with a bit of modern flare.

AJ was a delightful tour guide, and we were treated to delicious local treats — Allagash special beer to kick off the morning, haddock tacos (who knew? How yummy!), the area’s best chowder, as well as a great suggestion from AJ — try the local coffee flavored brandy! Which was great too, especially added to half cream on ice. Visiting the Harbor fish market showed us what all the freshest fish and seafood looked like before it ever gets onto your plate, and AJ shared a lot about the harvesting and life cycle of those lobsters in the tank.

EXCELLENT! Our guide AJ was so knowledgeable and friendly. She taught us so much! We learned many things about lobsters, scallops, and so many other fish along with a fisherman‘s daily tasks. We also ate many very delicious items. Highly recommend!
