Browns Seabrook Lobster Pound

One of the things that I miss the most about New England, living in the Midwest, is real, fresh, seafood. So every time I got home I make it a point to get some at some point. One of the best places for New England style seafood, and a place filled with many happy memories from my youth is Seabrook, NH. In Seabrook are two of the best seafood shacks in the country, right across the street from one another. On one side, Markey's Lobster Pool: And, on the other side, Brown's Lobster Pound: While they use slightly different recipes, the food is pretty much comparable. A funny tradition/rivalry has popped up between the patrons. One seems to always go to the shack you grew up going to, and never to the other. To that end, I have been to Seabrook hundreds of times, and been to Markey's only once. And we definitely went to Brown's again this time. Brown's Makes all the New England basics. Clams, Scallops, Haddock, Shrimp, (all fried or steamed), and of course LOBSTER! (if you want it whole, you can pick your dinner out yourself!):
I must say it was delicious. Every bit worth braving the snowstorm that was raging while we travelled two and from there. (the picture of the road in my previous post was I-495 south crawling along in the storm heading home). So, if any of you are in the area I suggest that you try the seafood in Seabrook out, because if you are not, you are missing out!

My Bracket After The First Weekend.

None of the real upsets happened (Duke Losing kinda was an upset, but everyone seemed to expect it). Boston College lost to Georgetown in the second Round. Ohio State barely survived Xavier in overtime. My bracket did not survive the weekend. See the carnage above.

Also, for those interested, an update on the race on the race to 66th best!
