If New Yorkers know anything, it’s how to sniff out a good piece of smoked salmon. Ask anyone, and they'll tell you Acme Smoked Fish is the place to go for the best smoked fish products in NYC. Producer Spencer Alben visits the 100-year-old, family-owned factory for a behind-the-scenes tour and learns how the business went from humble beginnings to a local institution.

My mom and I make a girls day out of it and will drive an hour to get to this place and after our haul, we’ll drive to Queens to eat lunch. ❤️ We’ll get some for our family but also friends, cousins, etc bc everyone wants it! It’s a tradition now! Their smoked salmon is absolutely amazing, I highly recommend anyone to try all of what they have to offer! My favorite would definitely be the pastrami smoked salmon but if you’re lucky, they’ll have special ones for that day only. 🥰

Back in the 60's I worked at a New York style delicatessen for the four years I was in high school. Our lox came in a metal tray from a place in Nova Scotia hence its name NOVA Lox. It became one of my all time favorite foods. The only problem is is that once you've had the best there is, then everything else pales in comparison. So now I make my own, still not as good but closer than any of this "salmon paste" that's found in today's markets.

@@dreadwing01 let me assure you these are not silvers, I've been seining in SE and fishing in Bristol Bay for 14 years. Atlantic salmon do not have the same life cycle as the five species of wild Alaskan salmon we both know. Scientifically they are a specie of trout. These are farmed fish with dyed flesh, their meat is naturally grey. You are watching a video of New York foodies salivating over low quality seafood
