Europa Express at 750 La Playa Street (between Balboa and Fulton, right by the beach) will probably have. Or if you feel like coming out to the East Bay, the Eastern European store in Castro Valley has lots jarred herring, plus smoked whole fish (different kinds). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sneakeater Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 If it’s jarred there’s no point in being too particular as to where you buy it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Diancecht Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 understood. i don’t shop at wf because of its corporate parent and i would rather support local businesses whenever possible. i typed a long response and then deleted it. lol. it’s cool, man. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My point exactly, though Acme's isn't terrible. One can always order stuff from Russ & Daughters. They have some nice packages which include shipping. And real lox.

And I don't shop at WF for the same reason. I try not to buy anything directly from Amazon either. The Eastern European stores by us are locally owned and they have a good breadth of smoked fish and meat offerings. Today's "2nd breakfast" came from the Ferry Building Market: a tea-smoked egg from Imperial Tea Court and a "not cross" bun (no icing) from Acme. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I got there early, and was already on BART back to the East Bay by 10:15. I never liked the later crowds, even pre-COVID. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 There are like NO vegetables at my Greenmarket now. This weekend I couldn’t even rouse myself out of bed. For what? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
small h Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Union Square is still surprisingly bountiful. I went last Saturday and got a fair amount of stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Diancecht Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 avocado toast, poached egg, pickled tomatillos, cherry tomatoes… from vive la tarte (4026 24th (noe)) in noe valley i don’t eat avocado toast often, but theirs is aces. 10/10 would order again. the toppings make it, plus it’s a sizeable portion.

Sneakeater Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 No no. There haven't even been turnips. The vegetable vendors just haven't been coming. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
