you are definitely looking on the wrong coast for crab legs. i do not know of an all you can eat lobster restaurant but if you can find a lobster bake that would probably suffice.

for a good restaurant which mostly caters to locals i would recommend esposito's. espo's is low-key, italian with seafood, and family style.

my personal favorite in portland for seafood is street and co. the scallops in pernod is exceptional. on my last visit i was surprised to learn they had started excepting reservations. i preferred the walk-in policy, much less pretentious. but with success comes it compromises.

another recommendation is the baker's table especially for lunch.
