Lobster is a Maine culinary hallmark, but there’s a windfall of flavor to explore when you visit New England’s easternmost state. An abundance of high-integrity ingredients from fertile farms and salty seas emphasize primary materials rather than elaborate technique.
Life in Maine moves at a pace set by wind, weather and tides, just as it has for centuries. This throwback quality is evident on the plate so expect authentic, unfussy foods that recall yesteryear.
Though Portland is the current gastronomic darling, much of the state is an uncharted epicurean’s dream. Look on a map and you’ll see remote wisps of land stretching into the Atlantic. Venture down one and find tastes to satisfy your every craving.
