Get ready, seafood lovers—Boothbay Harbor’s most delicious night of the year is almost here! The 12th Annual Claw Down lobster bite competition takes place Thursday, June 12 at the Shipyard in Boothbay Harbor, and it’s not too late to grab your ticket to this wildly popular, mouthwatering event.

Ten top local chefs are bringing their culinary A-game, each crafting a unique lobster bite that highlights Maine’s iconic crustacean in unforgettable ways. A panel of professional judges will select the winning bite to represent our region at Harvest on the Harbor in Portland this October.

But the most coveted title? That’s up to YOU.

Attendees will sample all 10 bites and vote for their favorite in the People’s Choice competition. This is your chance to support your favorite chef—and your taste buds—while sipping, sampling, and celebrating the flavors of the coast.

Don’t wait. Tickets are going fast, and this event sells out every year. Be part of the party, the competition, and the celebration of Boothbay’s vibrant culinary scene. 

Call 207-633-2353 or stop by the Boothbay Harbor Region Chamber of Commerce to get your tickets before they're gone!
