WNYC talks with Russ & Daughters co-owner Joshua Russ Tupper about pickled herring: “Tupper has fond memories of being a child and facing an extensive fish spread at his grandmother’s house. He would pile all the different fish on a bagel smeared with cream cheese. At the top, he would carefully place a piece of pickled herring. Then his grandmother would scold him, saying that eating all the fish together ruined the individual flavors. Memories like that, and the idea of continuing the family business, brought the former chemical engineer back to the Lower East Side from the Northwest seven years ago.”
