Bagels & Bread
Half Dozen Bagels
When it comes to New York bagels, Russ & Daughters represents the real thing. We make our bagels in the most traditional way – they’re boiled and then perfectly baked. Layer our smoked salmon on top for “the best bagel and lox in New York” (according to New York Magazine). PLEASE NOTE WE SOMETIMES RUN OUT OF CERTAIN FLAVORS AND WILL SUBSTITUTE AS NECESSARY.
Half Dozen Bialys
If you never tasted a bialy, this fabulous bread, with Eastern European roots, is real competition to the bagel. Toasted with butter or cream cheese, it is simply divine. Baked with onions, the traditional way, by Russ & Daughters.
Challah
We bake all of our breads every day at Russ & Daughters bagels and bakery. Russ & Daughters bakes the most traditional challah. Perfect for your holiday celebration or Shabbat table or any time you want a taste of tradition. (Sorry, we cannot slice it for you.)
Bagel

Shissel Rye
We bake all of our bread every day at Russ & Daughters Bagels & Bakery. Niki and Josh (of the Russ family) realized that NYC was in need of the most traditional Jewish-style rye bread, so when they started Russ & Daughters Bagels & Bakery, this was one of the very first products. Deeply-flavored rye like none other, you’ll be sure to enjoy this with smoked fish and schmears. (Sorry, we cannot slice it for you.)
Gluten-free Bagels (6-pack)
Comes frozen. Pack of 6 for Original Sunshine.
Pumpernickel Bread
Real pumpernickel is rare and this is it! Baked every day at Russ & Daughters bagels and bakery – and best enjoyed with smoked fish, schmears, herring, and all sorts of appetizing delicacies.
Spreads, Schmears & Salads
Cream Cheese - 1/2 Lb
The freshness, quality, and double-whipped goodness of our cream cheese cannot be matched.
Whitefish & Baked Salmon Salad - 1/2 Lb
This is by far one of Russ & Daughters most popular items. The Russ family recipe of traditional whitefish salad calls for an added amount of baked salmon (also called kippered salmon) for what has been called one the "best foods in the whole wide world."
Hot Smoke/cold Smoke - 1/2 Lb
Kippered (baked) and Scottish smoked salmon spread. (contains dairy)
Chopped Liver - 1/2 Lb
Made with chicken liver. This is chopped liver the way your bubby used to make it, though we dare say, it's better. Made with caramelized onions.
Egg Salad - 1/2 Lb
Handmade egg salad with onions and celery
New Potato Salad - 1/2 Lb
Red potatoes, capers and dill in a vinaigrette dressing
Tuna Salad - 1/2 Lb
Albacore tuna, celery and onions
Cabbage Salad - 1/2 Pint
A crisp refreshing take on Health Salad. Red and green cabbage with carrots, red bell pepper and scallions, all tossed in a light vinaigrette.
Soup
Matzo Ball Soup
Arrives cold. Our traditional recipe includes chicken broth made from scratch, vegetables and handmade matzo balls. Now you can have comfort and tradition any time of year.
Summer Borscht
Arrives cold. Our summer borscht is a refreshing smooth beet puree, served chilled. It's vegan and gluten free on its own.
Mushroom Barley Soup
ARRIVES COLD. This soup is rich and hearty with the savory flavors of mushrooms and beef broth.
Smoked & Cured Fish
Gaspe Nova Smoked Salmon - 1/2 Lb
Mild and succulent, this is classic nova at its best. The pure, fresh North Atlantic taste and satiny texture will be savored by any palate.
Scottish Smoked Salmon - 1/2 Lb
Smoked with a combination of apple and cherry wood, our Scottish Salmon is the perfect union of silky texture, balanced smoke, and total sophistication.
Irish Organic Smoked Salmon - 1/2 Lb
This organic salmon lives in protected waters off the Irish coast and enjoys a 100% organic diet. It is delicately smoked for a wonderfully mild and refined flavor.
Gravlax - 1/2 Lb
Gravlax is an age-old Scandinavian specialty of salmon cured and coated in a delicate brine of salt, sugar, dill. The thin layer of dill adds wonderful contrasting flavor and color to any smorgasbord. (Please note, gravlax is not smoked. It is cured.)
Sable - 1/2 Lb
Sable was once referred to as "poor man’s sturgeon," but don’t let the old moniker fool you. With its melt-in-your-mouth flavor and buttery texture, sable is served in some of the best restaurants around the world. It is also classic appetizing. Line caught in Northern Pacific waters, this black cod is smoked to Russ family specifications and then dusted with a thin coat of paprika to lock in its natural moistness and round out the flavor.
Kippered Salmon - 1/2 Lb
Also called “baked salmon,” kippered salmon is an appetizing classic. The special hot-smoking process imparts an incredibly moist texture and rich flavor. Try kippered salmon along with any of our cold-smoked salmon for two totally different, though equally delicious, experiences.
Salt-cured Belly Lox - 1/2 Lb (salty!)
NOVICES BEWARE: THIS IS NOT SMOKED SALMON, IT IS VERY SALTY! For those who grew up on belly lox, nothing can compare. Our belly lox is cut from the mid-section of the salmon and cured in a special salt brine (not smoked). It’s prepared just the same way as the belly lox from Joel Russ’s pushcart.
Yellowfin Tuna - 1/2 Lb
Tuna is delicious raw, cooked and smoked. A newer addition to our specialty smoked fish collection, this tuna is delicious. These smaller slices with their lean texture will make unforgettable appetizers.
Smoked Whitefish
A smoked whitefish is classic Russ & Daughters and an all-time favorite for many. Native to the Great Lakes, whitefish are hot smoked to perfection to give you a moist, dense, and smoky experience. Choose "Filleted" to have us take the bones out. Note that even filleted fish may contain bones.
Sturgeon - 1/2 Lb
This delicate white meat produces an absolutely unique flavor: it is clean and earthy, sweet and delicate all at the same time. It is no surprise that fish that gives us caviar would be just as sumptuous when smoked.
Pastrami-cured Salmon - 1/2 Lb
For a taste of New York, look no further. Our salmon is smoked to perfection and then covered in a special pastrami rub of herbs and spices. Enjoy two iconic New York specialties – smoked salmon and pastrami – at the same time and without the cholesterol.
Brook Trout
These hot-smoked freshwater fish are so delicious and versatile. They’re perfect on their own or as the “wow” ingredient for salads and sandwiches. Please note, whole brook trout contain bones. We do our best to remove the majority of bones when we fillet (de-bone) them, but make no guarantee that these fish will be completely free of bones or cartilage.
Sweet
Babka - Loaf
Russ & Daughters’ babka is legendary – our chocolate babka is swirled with two kinds of decadent chocolate with a hint of coffee and our cinnamon babka is swirled with warm cinnamon and brown sugar, the balance between not-too-sweet cake and rich filling rolled throughout. A haimish way to end your meal on a sweet note or to simply slice and snack on at any time. Babka is also perfect to give as a host gift, to serve as a birthday cake, or to send when wishing congratulations or expressing thanks. What could be better than babka?

Pickled Herring
Fresh from our pickling barrels, Russ & Daughters herring is the gold standard when it comes to this cherished food. If you’re used to the prepackaged kind in a can or jar, with one bite of fresh Russ & Daughters herring, you’ll never settle again. Over our 103 year history, the Russ family has perfected its recipe; not too sweet and not too tart, with the right combination of pickled spices and timing for perfect texture. An order is 3 filets. Each filet is sliced into approximately 6-7 pieces.
Swedish Matjes
An order is three filets sliced. The perfect cocktail herring with some aquavit or your favorite white wine, the richness of this small herring is brought out by a marinade of brown sugar, clove, allspice, and cranberries.
