Our Shucking 101 class in downtown Portland. Pro shuckers walk you through the knife, the farmers, the regions — and yes, you eat what you shuck.
Enjoy hands-on shucking classes at our Portland raw bar & shucking academy or visit us at our coastal home for oyser farm tours, classes, lobster bakes and more in Phippsburg. Private groups? inquire here!

Out on the water at our Cape Small farm. See how oysters are grown, sorted, and harvested — roll up your sleeves if you want. Same coast our partner farms work every day.
Dockside, working lobster wharves on either side. Rain or shine. Same Shucking 101 we teach in Portland, on the coast instead.
Lobsters, steamers, corn, curated oysters — the full Maine plate, on a working waterfront. Come for the food, stay for the sunset.
“My wife and I loved the oyster shucking class, the folks here taught us so much, and shucking was easier than we expected. Some of the best oysters I’ve ever tried, will certainly be shipping these as gifts for next year.”
“We went for my wife’s birthday and had an amazing time. Our host (John) was very knowledgeable, accommodating, and very friendly! The environment was small, intimate, and very informal (in the best possible way!). The oysters were amazing, and the class was the best part about our trip to Portland. I would highly recommend to anyone!”
“You guys are so awesome to email! The oysters were the biggest hit. My parents both shucked oysters for the first time and my dad got a blow torch from the garage and did some trick with parmesan cheese that he saw on the intranet! They are too funny. My dad was talking all about the oysters at his office and everyone wants the info about how to order them. You guys really made my Mom's Mother's Day so great.”
