Starting on June 18, the NEW CATCH HOLLAND HERRING (Hollandse Nieuwe) are available for enjoying at RUSS & DAUGHTERS (179 East Houston Street), for shipping nationwide, and for delivery throughout all five boroughs of New York City.
We also have a fantastic herring menu at the RUSS & DAUGHTERS CAFE (127 Orchard Street) — featuring the New Catch as well as other herring favorites! No reservations, but we’ll be serving this special menu (in addition to our regular menu) all day long. Our drinks menu pairs perfectly with herring too!
THE RUSS & DAUGHTERS HERRING PAIRING at Astor Center will be on the evening of June 24th. Tickets are going fast!
The New Catch Holland Herring is a piece of gastronomic heaven, a fabulous buttery and mild matjes (young) herring unlike any other, due to its exceptionally high and healthy omega-3 fat content. Many compare its buttery texture and delicate flavor to the finest sashimi.
Once a year, the herring in the North Sea reach their optimal condition during a 4-5 week season. In Holland, the start of this season is a national holiday. The first barrel of herring into port is auctioned off for charity. After that, these prized delicacies hit the market as the famed “Hollandse Nieuwe” — “New Catch Holland Herring.” Russ & Daughters is a direct importer, and receives herring from the first delivery of this New Catch to New York.

The New Yorker made a beautiful video about how we created the neon sign for the Russ & Daughters Cafe, and about how the art of slicing smoked salmon by hand at Russ & Daughters is very similar to the fantastic art of making neon.
