"“Russ & Daughters is a classic. I like the one on Houston, on the weekend, for their smoked fish, pickled fish, herring, and so on. On the weekend, sometimes we go there, and you can see them slicing your salmon. I'll have smoked salmon, some whitefish salad, bagels, and sometimes caviar, and I’m pretty happy with that. I don’t need much. The quality of the smoked fish that they have is very good.”" - bryan kim
