Help
N has been trying, without success, to find fresh kippers in NYC. (She doesn't really like the tinned ones.) Does anyone know where we could get them? They don't have them at Russ & Daughters.

I can only suggest Barney Greengrass. I don't know if it has them.

Barney Greengrass does not have them, at least not last time I was there.
My suggestion would be Brighton Beach.

I actually think I saw them at Fairway on Thursday. Call their fish counter and ask.

I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.”

Citarella has kippers. BUT, the Village branch keeps them in a fridge (left of salmon & lox counter), not a freezer, even tho' the label says "Keep Frozen". So, not fresh.
It was not a new dish, as I recognised my tooth marks. Wilfrid

By the way, these were raw. You'd have to prepare them yourself.
