Food.Curated. recently followed Saul Zabar during one of his weekly trips to Brooklyn, where he sources Zabar’s famous smoked fish from ACME Smoked Fish. Zabar has been buying fish for the Upper West Side landmark since 1950.

ACME Vice President (and MyUpperWest softball teammate) Adam Caslow  had this to say about Zabar:

“Because our industry is relatively small, we’ve developed a close relationship with a lot of different characters both on the buying side and the selling side, and there’s probably no better example than Saul Zabar. He’s definitely one of the last remaining members of the ‘old guard’. He’s a book of knowledge and kind of a historian of smoked fish.”
