Our Story

Born From the Tides, Rooted in Community

High Tide Low Tide Seafood isn't just a restaurant — it's a Skowhegan tradition. We opened our doors with one promise: to serve the freshest catch from Maine's waters, prepared the way it's always been done, with nothing added that doesn't belong.

Every morning, our team meets local fishermen to hand-select the day's best catch. We don't freeze, we don't stockpile, and we don't compromise. If it isn't good enough for our table, it isn't good enough for yours.

Since Day One

Serving Skowhegan with the same commitment to quality and hospitality.

Family-Owned

A family restaurant where every guest is treated like one of our own.

The Process

From Ocean to Ocean View

Here's what happens before your meal arrives — and why it matters.

The Catch

Every morning, local fishermen bring in their catch at dawn. We're there to hand-pick the freshest fish, shellfish, and crab — no middlemen, no delays.

The Prep

Our kitchen team cleans, fillets, and prepares everything by hand. No pre-packaged shortcuts — just skilled hands and sharp knives doing what they do best.

The Service

From our kitchen to your table, your meal is plated with care and served with a smile. Every dish tells the story of that morning's tide.
