Murray’s Sturgeon Shop

I recently explored Murray's Sturgeon Shop, enticed by positive reviews, and my overall encounter proved satisfactory. Opting for the lox, and lox and sable combo sandwiches, complemented by a mix of pickles and rugelach ( I believe that's what it is called) I entered with elevated expectations. Noteworthy was the commendable customer service, where the friendly and warm staff contributed to an enjoyable experience. The lox sandwich was delightful. The pickles were enjoyable, and the rugelach introduced a delightful variety to the meal. Regrettably, the disappointment unfolded with the lox and sable combination. Despite the premium price exceeding $20, the sable and lox struggled to shine through an overpowering layer of cream cheese. This dominance detracted from fully savoring the subtleties of the fish, falling short of the anticipated balance for a dish in this price range. While the overall experience was positive, the cream cheese issue with the lox and sable was a setback. A return to Murray's Sturgeon Shop is on my radar, considering exploring the fish on its own. If opting for a sandwich, I would request a lighter hand with the cream cheese to enhance the dining experience. In summary, Murray's Sturgeon Shop was a pleasant experience, and I would recommend it to others.

Best Sable, Smoked Trout, Coleslaw and Pickles available in NY. Preserved time warp ambiance is unmatched along with excellent service.

Top line place for Jewish appetizers, smoked salmon thinly and surgically sliced by experts. Bagels, pickled fish products, deli salads, chopped liver, desserts....all one would want in this delicious ethnic cuisine. Great service. Their style retains all the charm of a bygone deli counter that is very welcoming to me. Plus...OH THE FOOD! DELICIOUS!!

I ordered the Pastrami sandwich, and a bagel with cream cheese & sturgeon. The pastrami and rye were fantastic, and the balance of mustard was top notch. However, the sturgeon was the star of the show. It literally melts in your mouth with how light and delicious it is. Highly, highly, recommend.

So I dropped by for lunch & ordered the pastrami on rye with mustard & a sour pickle. Soft bread the pastrami was tasty & the pickle was the icing on the cake. The man behind the counter was a true gentleman, I'm a first time customer but he treated me like I had been shopping there for years .
