If there was ever a time that seafood tasted its best, it’s definitely summer. And luckily, Hank’s Oyster Bar is the shellfish destination of your dreams, and has every iteration of the season’s perfect food. The signature item at Hank’s (and the best way to try it all) is the award-winning plateau with stacks of oysters, clams, and mussels, plus jumbo shrimp, seafood ceviche, and Maine lobster. But if you prefer your fish to be crispy and fried, Hank’s has that too, plus sandwiches, small plates, and family meals. Any gathering this summer is made so much better with the lobster roll kit, crab cake dinner, or surf and turf meals from Hank’s. Stop in Friday through Sunday for weekend brunch to enjoy a fresh spin on traditional breakfast dishes, like smoked salmon eggs Benedict, plus the obligatory bloody mary or spring punch cocktail. 

Hank’s Oyster Bar has three local location, with the closest on King Street in Old Town. Visit the website to preview the menu, or to learn about Hank’s Market and other take-out options.
