Remember Wile E. Coyote? Constantly trying to outwit (and perhaps dine on) the poor
Roadrunner. Mr. Coyote used all sorts of tricks in his quest, all to no avail. But at least he shopped at the right place...

Yes...Acme. But his Acme is probably not this one, the one and only Acme Smoked Fish Corporation, of Brooklyn, New York...

If you ever find yourself at this intersection, in the Greenpoint section of Brooklyn, on a Friday morning only...

Now, once you've found the door - step inside this massive, refrigerated warehouse, purveyor of smoked fish and other assorted goodies. Yes, they supply much of the smoked fish to various retail outlets around town - and around the world. Look at the happy shoppers (they actually are happy, I think)...

I'm happy when I see piles of this stuff...

I ended up coming home with 3 kinds of smoked salmon, belly lox, whitefish, sable, herring, and other assorted goodies. It's a fun Friday outing, easy enough to get to via subway. And even easier by car, with lots of parking. But don't worry if you can't get there on a Friday morning. I'm pretty sure they're ready to ship...
