Shelsky’s Smoked Fish Opens on Smith Street

Last week Shelsky’s Smoked Fish opened in a Smith Street storefront between Douglass and Degraw. The Times had a writeup on it last week: “Peter Shelsky opened the shop because ‘I was tired of having to schlep over the bridge to Russ & Daughters.’ He’s keeping his catering company, Pete’s Eats, but he is making pickled herring and cured fish like gravlax to offer along with the smoked salmon, whitefish, sable and sturgeon he’s buying. Salads and sandwiches also fill the display cases.” The biz’s website characterizes it as something of a throwback, saying it’s “a New-Brooklyn, updated nod to the traditional smoked fish and appetizing shops that dotted the Lower East Side and Brooklyn decades ago.”
