> My favorite preserved fish in New York City comes from Russ & Daughters, an icon of New York cuisine that’s been around since 1914. Russ & Daughters gets their smoked fish from Acme[1], which is a huge purveyor of smoked fish. So the curious from this blog don't necessarily need to schlep to Russ & Daughters to get it. (Caveat being that it's very hard to slice lox correctly; you should be able to read the newspaper through it[2]. Preserved Fish the human presumably never had to deal with such problems.)

If one happens to be in New York City on a Friday morning, one might even purchase the fish in question straight from the source, as fresh as it gets: https://acmesmokedfish.com/pages/what-is-fish-friday#:~:text... | ||

HN broke link [1]. This works: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acme_Smoked_Fish_Corp%2E I love smoked salmon but in the UK it's mostly farmed trash so I don't buy it any more. If you look hard enough, smoked wild salmon is available, but at ~£1/g it's well out of my price range. | ||
