Best Herring/ fish around
« on: January 20, 2015, 04:10:37 PM »
I used to be into Schwartz's Herring as that is where my quest started in the US.

Back home (Austria) there would pretty much always be homemade herring which (in my mind) is just a whole different level.

I have however moved on to Raskin Herring as I like the variety and flavor better. My favorite ones are Pepper crusted, Jalapeno Matjes and their Red Pepper.

Any other good flavors, brands or fish worth trying?

Lol I used to be very active in their rival forum nyyfans.com

I admire that droolworthy ritual sans kishke. Scotch first though because of the bracha. Love that rough first kiddush club shot.

That Schwartz is overrated I agree with as well. It's not like its bad but for the rep it gets it doesn't even close to deliver.

but you need the scotch between the fish and meat
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Schwartz's went down in quality recently and I don't like it.
Edelmans in Lakewood is by far the  best (black pepper matjas) hands down!!
Farm fresh in Lakewood is amazing as well.
