The Interview: Mark Russ Federman On Smoked and Cured Fish
Mark Russ Federman is the grandson of the founder of Russ & Daughters Appetizers, a beloved smoked fish and Jewish food store located on East Houston Street on Manhattan's Lower East Side. Mark knows more about smoked salmon, lox, herring and other cured favorites than anyone in New York so we asked him to tell us its history, how it's made, what to buy, and how to store and serve this global favorite.
