Murray's Sturgeon Shop — Local services in New York

Updated Review: "I returned to Murray's Sturgeon Shop recently and purchased the Nova with cream cheese and capers on a bagel—it was absolutely delicious! The Nova and cream cheese were perfectly balanced. I must highlight their exceptional customer service; the staff creates a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, even when it's busy. I'll definitely be returning and highly recommend it!"

Initial Review: 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...

This place is truly special. I wondered in here just based off of the name knowing nothing about it, but to my delight it ended up being one of my favourite places in the city and particularly in this part of town. I went in and the smells and foods instantly reminded me of my Jewish upbringing. The man was very nice and walked me through everything for at least 45 minutes while constantly giving me samples voluntarily. This place is a definite must if you are in this part of town or even just passing through the city. I ended up purchasing many different fish, my favorite being the whitefish. I also need to come back and get the tuna salad that I tried on my way out and was so...

BEST FISH EVER! Have been going to Murrays since before I can remember... when I was a little girl I would count the little gold tiles on the counter because I was too short to see the food. They are the kindest human beings on the face of the planet and the fish and other items have never disappointed. I moved to CA about 18 years ago and now make sure to get Murray's delivered for all special occasions. Nothing has ever cured my blues or screamed celebration time quite like a bagel with fresh cream cheese and smoked salmon and one of their sour pickles. Do not turn down an opportunity to get food from here, you will not be...
