LARGE_blue_fish_LOGO Purveyors of the highest quality smoked fish, caviar, and specialty foods, Russ & Daughters is New York’s premier appetizing shop. Since 1914, this landmark New York institution has been continuously owned and operated by four generations of the Russ family. In the same spot on East Houston Street, and run by the same family, for nearly a century, Russ & Daughters continues to provide the tastes, traditions, and old-world class of a true New York experience.

When Joel Russ started peddling herring from a pushcart, could he have imagined a time when the 4th generation of the Russ family would walk, daily, into a landmark appetizing shop hailed by the Smithsonian Institute, the National Register of Historic Places, The New York Times, Gourmet, Martha Stewart, NPR, The New Yorker, New York Magazine, and Vogue —among many esteemed others — for its contribution to New York’s culinary and historical landscape?

Joel Russ, an Eastern European immigrant who arrived in America in 1907, started the business from a pushcart to cater to the throngs of Jewish immigrants settling in New York’s Lower East Side district. In 1920, he opened his store at 179 East Houston Street, after a few years of operating out of a storefront around the corner. In 1933, he renamed the business "Russ & Daughters," after his three daughters who joined him in the business. Mark Russ Federman succeeded as the 3rd Generation, and is now retired, and at work on his forthcoming memoir. The business is now owned and operated by the 4th Generation of the Russ family: Niki Russ Federman and Joshua Russ Tupper.
