Sturgeon Platter

📍 New York Jewish Deli $$

at Barney Greengrass

"White sturgeon from Barney Greengrass is the most underrated fish in New York. Milder than smoked salmon, richer than whitefish, it needs nothing except a thin schmear of cream cheese. The UWS hasn't changed in 40 years and neither has this platter."

"Sturgeon Platter at Barney Greengrass — the sturgeon is cold-smoked and sliced by hand, served alongside bagels, cream cheese, and the full array of accoutrements. This is the occasion it is designed for."
