Braun Seafood Company

I was surprised to see the lack of yelp reviews around Greenport/Northfork area.  

We decided to do some seafood hunting and this place wins my vote.

We were visiting Greenport, NY and searched for some fresh seafood and our second stop was Braun Seafood for lunch to grab some lobster rolls, ended up ordering clambake and fried fish!  

Clambake was pretty awesome for $26.95.  It came with a pretty big lobster, clams, mussels, shrimp, and a piece of corn.  It took a little while and employees didn't really bother telling us what was going on.  We almost thought they forgot about our order because they just sat around chatting.  

Lobster was cooked perfectly (they didn't overcook it where it can turn rubbery).  It was seasoned well and tasted fresh.  They partially cracked the lobster for us which made it much easier to eat.  

Our beer battered cod fish was also crispy without much grease left on it!  Fish was really meaty and it was one of the best fried fish I had in a while.  

They have indoor and outdoor seating.  

What kind of bothers me about this place?  cooks are eating food while they're cooking... that didn't really seem appropriate.

This review is for the fish store, I have never sat in their restaurant.

The seafood is always fresh and the pricing fair.  The only item I have purchased from Braun are the crab cakes.  I always buy them fresh to bring home and freeze.  I enjoy these because they are well spiced and you can see the crab meat.  These are not the "breading mixed with artificial crab meat and eggs"  that so many stores pass off as freshly made crab cakes.  I have often used these crab cakes as stuffing for my fresh Long Island flounder too.  The one time the store was closed, I went into the restaurant, told the person behind the counter what I was looking for and they quickly brought out  the order for me.  Clearly, this is the type of service I look for in any type of store.

No frills, but great, fresh seafood!

We got a feast for two for ~ $60. A 2lb lobster, some blue fish, clams, french fries, sodas... Great bargain, great food
