Oyster Shucking Class

Move beyond the raw bar and get behind the shucking knife. Our Portland space offers an immersive, hands-on class designed to turn any oyster lover into a confident shucker. Whether you're a local looking to sharpen your skills or a visitor wanting an authentic taste of the coast, we bring the farm to the city.

Each session is led by instructors who have spent time working on Maine oyster farms. They don’t just teach you how to open an oyster; they share stories of Maine Aquaculture, explaining how our cold, nutrient-rich waters produce the best bivalves in the world.

Sip While You Shuck: A curated selection of craft beer and wine is available for purchase at the bar to perfectly complement your briny harvest.

Private Group Takeovers

Looking for a unique team-building event, a bachelorette party, or a private celebration? We offer exclusive space takeovers. Your group will have the full attention of our experts and the entire Portland space to yourselves for a private, high-energy shucking session.

What’s Included in Your Class

• The Maine Duo: Every guest receives two distinct varieties of Maine Oysters. This allows you to compare flavor profiles—from the briny punch of the open ocean to the sweet, mineral finish of a tidal river.
• Expert Instruction: Learn the "hinge-and-pop" method safely and efficiently from the pros.
• The Perfect Finish: Your class includes a selection of signature house toppings to dress your freshly shucked catch.
• The Tools: We provide professional-grade shucking knives and protective gloves for use during the session.
