Sable's Smoked Fish — Restaurant in New York

If you're visiting NYC or live here, this place is a must-try no matter your background. As someone who's tried practically every appetizing shop in Manhattan, Sable's stands out. The lox is exceptional - silky, perfectly smoked, and hand-sliced to order. While some might experience sticker shock ($10-20 range), the quality justifies the price. Pro tip: their whitefish salad is also fantastic. The staff are knowledgeable and patient in explaining different types of smoked fish to newcomers. Whether you're Jewish and grew up with these flavors or trying traditional appetizing for the first time, they'll help you find something you'll love. The store is spotlessly clean with an efficient ordering system. During peak times (Sunday mornings), expect a line, but it moves quickly. Location is convenient in Manhattan's Upper East Side. They take COVID precautions seriously, which is reassuring. Perfect for:
