Halibut Ceviche by Eventide Oyster Company in Portland, Maine.
Eventide is our favorite restaurant in Portland, Maine. It is Eventide OYSTER Company so I always have a few oysters to start things off. The condiments are fun too. I chose Tabasco ice and horseradish ice, nice twist on classic oyster toppings.
Here's the oyster selection from the day we visited. All from Maine.
Next up. Tuna Tartare. Love those little slices of peppers on top. Plus my wife does like spicy peppers so I get twice as much π
Of course my wife is going to have some greens no matter where we go. An interesting umami-rich nori vinaigrette. Yum π
Since we don't get to the coast that often, I usually have some chowder anywhere it seems it would be good. And it was good! Whole steamed clams and chewy chunks of salt pork in a broth thats nice and light.
This was the most interesting dish and is unfortunately the worst picture π the bowl ruined the lighting. Scallop Waffle-Yaki with Tempura, Kabayaki, and Umami Mayo. Crazy and delicious.
But of course, its the awesome lobster roll that hooked us and keeps us coming back whenever we get the chance π the soft fluffy bun is more like a Chinese bao bun than the traditional hot dog bun.
If you ever end up in Portland, Maine I highly recommend Eventide π Eventide Oyster Company Or I suppose you can cheat and sample their delicious fare in Boston at their second location near Fenway Park.
