Portland41

Middle Street and Fore Street carry most of it. Eventide shucks oysters and the Honey Paw cooks noodles next door, Central Provisions works Fore Street, Duckfat fries the potatoes, and Standard Baking bakes under the Commercial Street end. Allagash and Foundation brew out on Industrial Way, and the Lobster Shack sits on the rocks at Two Lights.

The Southern Coast7

The border towns eat well. Bob's Clam Hut has fried on Route 1 at Kittery for decades, the Black Birch and the Wallingford Dram cook and pour in Kittery Foreside, Tributary brews on Shapleigh Road, and Banded Brewing works the mill at Biddeford.

The Midcoast3

The coast road north: Bao Bao makes dumplings on Pleasant Street in Brunswick, Oxbow ferments in the farmhouse at Newcastle, and the Place Bakery works Elm Street in Camden.

Down East2

Thurston's boils lobster on the pier at Bernard on Mount Desert, and Nocturnem pours on Main Street in Bangor.
