The salmon is spectacular -- we tend to travel a lot and we try smoked salmon wherever we go -- we are sort of smoked salmon addicts. BC has great salmon, but honestly the best best best hot smoked salmon we ever had was in a tiny little middle of nowhere in New Zealand ... and at the St Lawrence market in this store. It is pricey but you pay for quality. This was our first time there and the people were uber-nice. We took two kinds of salmon -- hot smoked and cold smoked and both were yummy, although the hot smoked is more unusual and we liked it slightly better. We are now trying to arrange our schedules so we could drop by the St. Lawrence market more often so we can pick up the salmon.
I read the other review and I just wanna say that although I don't eat caviar myself it is an extremely rare and expensive delicacy and appeals to some people who are willing to pay for it. It is not for everyone and there is absolutely no logical reason to expect that it would cost under 30 dollars.
