Where can one find find fresh herring--schmaltz, matjes, pickled? The pre-packaged stuff just doesn't cut it. TIA.

Great stuff. Otherwise I recommend Schwartz's on 16th Avenue in Borough Park. The Lower East Side Pickle Guys carry Schwartz's stuff.

Not to say the packaged stuff doesn't have their place in my heart, especially on a cracker with onions and a shot of booze at 10:00am Saturday morning; but the Barney stuff will open your eyes and taste buds.
