Norwegian Smoked Salmon - 1/2 lb
$30.00
This silky salmon has a firm texture and the perfect balance of smoke and salt, perfect for everyday enjoyment
Sable - 1/2 lb
$38.00
Sable was once referred to as “poor man’s sturgeon, ” but don’t let the old moniker fool you. With its melt-in-your-mouth flavor and buttery texture, sable is served in some of the best restaurants around the world. It is also classic appetizing. Line caught in Northern Pacific waters, this black cod is smoked to Russ family specifications and then dusted with a thin coat of paprika to lock in its natural moistness and round out the flavor. Please not that while do our best to remove the majority of bones, we make no guarantee that sable will be completely free of bones or cartilage.

Try kippered salmon along with any of our cold-smoked salmon for two totally different, though equally delicious, experiences. Please not that while do our best to remove the majority of bones, we make no guarantee that kippered salmon will be completely free of bones or cartilage.

Sturgeon - 1/2 lb

NOVICES BEWARE: THIS IS NOT SMOKED SALMON, IT IS VERY SALTY! For those who grew up on belly lox, nothing can compare. Our belly lox is cut from the mid-section of the salmon and cured in a special salt brine (not smoked). It’s prepared just the same way as the belly lox from Joel Russ’s pushcart.

Vintage Tote Bag
The first business in america to have “& daughters” in its name, Russ & Daughters’ founder, Joel Russ, also called his three business partners — his daughters — the “queens of lake sturgeon.” The paper shopping bags had not been seen since the 1960s until one was recently exhumed by writer, humorist, and beloved Russ & Daughters regular, Calvin Trillin — who generously returned it back to the store 50 years after it was used. The rare artifact from the store’s history now hangs on a wall at Russ & Daughters Cafe, and was adapted for the paper shopping bags we use at all of our locations again. This shopping bag is reprinted according to the original wooden type letterpress technique that was employed in the 1940s. Each print is inked by hand and is entirely unique.

Gray Historic Shopping Bag T-Shirt
The first business in america to have “& Daughters” in its name, Russ & Daughters’ founder, Joel Russ, also humorously dubbed his three business partners – his daughters – the “Queens of Lake Sturgeon. ” this nickname, along with the rest of the shopping bag’s idiosyncratic text, would have been given to a local printer. At this time, printing and graphic design were a single activity — wooden type blocks would be mixed-and-matched according to what was on hand. These bags had not been seen since the 1960s, until one was exhumed recently by writer, humorist, and beloved Russ & Daughters regular, Calvin Trillin — who generously returned it back to the store 50 years after it was removed. This rare artifact from the store’s history now hangs on a wall in the cafe. The shopping bag text was adapted for the paper shopping bags we use at Russ & Daughters today — and for this t-shirt! 100% cotton. (no returns or exchanges.)
