Maine Seafood--As Good as it Gets

Come to a restaurant in Maine during the summer and you may undoubtedly hear the cracking of lobster shells and smell the aroma of fresh seafood. Whether it comes from a shack on the beach or one of Portland's up and coming new restaurants, the food in Maine is typically fresh and delicious. Learn to cook at one of Maine's culinary arts schools and you may work with some of the freshest seafood and produce in the country.

Maine's Charming Culinary Scene

Maine's major cities, Portland, Augusta, and Bangor, all maintain a quintessential small-town New England charm. Old neighborhood restaurants attract locals and tourists alike with cuisine that honors the local fruit of the sea. As a summer destination for much of the east coast, Maine's costal area has many new restaurants popping up and star chefs are starting to get recognition. With numerous great restaurants and culinary arts schools in the area, Maine can be a great place to heat up a career in cuisine.

At a Maine culinary arts school, you may not only learn how to prepare lobster a dozen different ways--boiled, grilled, and poached, just to name a few--but you may also learn how to make other New England staples such as clam chowder, blueberry pie, and fried clams.
