The Shop by Island Creek Oysters

No frills and some of the best oysters I've ever had. Snow Island was a perfect balance of briny and sweet. Clam chowder is solid it's a little bit more like a bisque but they cooked the potatoes perfectly for a soup.

THIS is the place to go for oysters when youre in Portland. I dont care what anyone says. They have $1.95/oyster EVERY DAY. ALL day. The value here is impeccable. We had a few places for oysters while on our trip but this by far had the best value. Vibe is super trendy. Kinda got a little cringed out when I saw chairs from a high school classroom (whiplash moment lol). But the decor is clean, kitchen is clean and simple, display of the oysters is gorgeous, and the staff was helpful. Dont bother for happy hour oysters when you can get this value all day, every day.

Friendly, comfortable, and fabulous foods. All our favorite Maine oysters and several new ones to add to our list. Daily special was a great chowder unlike any other (crispy bluefish skin substituted for bacon - marvelous). And then, the tinned fish with toast points and cornichon - wow! Our first experience with razor clams and definitely not our last. Excellent beer selection, and fun cocktails (Lambrusco Spritz was out of this world and perfect with oysters) Cant wait to return.

super fresh, delicious oysters! we went for happy hour on a weekday and loved everything we ate - the dressed oysters were especially memorable. The ambiance is also perfect! Very relaxed, bright, and beautiful space.
