whitefish salad/ne side of Philly
I'm a Baltimore Hound hoping someone can give me a lead in the right direction: my ex-husband's now-deceased father used to go to a deli on the Northeast side of Philly and get the best whitefish salad I've ever tasted. I know there are probably dozens of delis that fit that description, but could you possibly throw out some possibilities so that I can begin my search? It was definitely on the NE side near Jeanes St.
I've been craving it for about 10 years now :)
Thanks!

Steve Stein's Famous Deli in Krewstown Shopping center @ Grant Ave. and Krewstown Rd. He makes his own and if he is there he will make you feel like family. There is a bagel store in the same shopping center called South Philly Bagels. This little gem of a shopping center also has a newish supermarket called Apple Farmers Market which caters to the growing population of Latino and Eastern European immigrants in the neighborhood and a Russian restaurant, Pirismoni. I have not tried Pirismoni, yet.

Funny thing- but so far in Philly, I've yet to taste as good a whitefish salad as the homemade one at Seven Mile Market in Baltimore. (they have 2 of them- one is far better than the other-more limited & harder to get, but worth a shot if you haven't tried it-it's the chunkier of the 2)

My first thought was the Bustleton Famous Deli on Krewstown Road, which is relatively close to Jeanes St.. I used to get whitefish salad there regularly in the late 70's and early 80's before I moved out here. I don't think it is there anymore but check it out. The 'Garden of Eatin' was a deli restaurant that also sold salads. I think they're gone, too.
