One of the best-known seafood shacks in New England is on the market.
According to a source, Markey's Lobster Pool in Seabrook, NH, is for sale, with an article from seacoastonline.com confirming this, indicating (via a sales brochure given by the commercial division of Keller-Williams Real Estate) that the owner of the dining spot is looking to retire. Markey's is often mentioned in the same breath as Brown's across the street, with both being landmark seafood restaurants known for their lobster rolls, fried clams, and more.
Markey's first opened its doors back in 1971.
The address for Markey's Lobster Pool is 420 NH-286, Seabrook, NH 03874. Its website is at https://www.markeyslobsterpound.com/
[February 6 update: While there are no updates on any pending sale, it does look like Markey's remains in operation, with its website saying that it plans to reopen for the season on weekends only starting February 13 (weather permitting).]
