I didn't see any in the case at Wan's. Sigh, I missed my chance to compare all of the different varieties of smoked salmon sold by the pound (around $25/lb.) at Coastal. This packages stuff is good, but it's up to almost $40/lb. I hope that one of them brings back the by-the-pound in multiple varieties!

Did Coastal hand-slice to order?

No, they did not slice to order. The salmon was pre-sliced in the packages.

Right, but they sold you as much or as little as you wanted from a much bigger piece, priced by the pound. And they had a couple of different varieties / sources of smoked salmon.

Thanks,

Coastal Cave's smoked salmon was just sides from same processors as the small pre-packs. No real difference, to my taste, between that and smaller packages, especially since, iirc, Coastal Cave only used pre-sliced sides. Herschel's has whole sides of nova, which is a smoked salmon, as well as belly lox (cured, but not smoked) which is hand-sliced to order, very good but necessarily salty. Some of the fish mongers sell small, i.e., 4 or 8 oz, packages of sliced smoked salmon.

The internet jumped the shark the day these f'n real estate companies began telling agents to start blogs for marketing purposes.

So you're telling me you've never gazed into the abyss of NakedPhilly?

Time to update.

While shopping in the Reading Terminal Market, I stopped at Martin's to buy a few things. I noticed a sign behind the counter for Mr. Giunta. Mr. Giunta died this morning. RIP.

'Lamb deli' coming to Reading Terminal Market

Should be interesting, but after wondering what kind of cold cuts could be made from lamb (since "delis" sell cold cuts, right?) and reading the article, it sounds like more of a lamb butcher. But I guess that phrase sounds harsh? Too bad there isn't a word like "charcuterie" that applies to lamb, because that sounds more like what it will be. And do you think people eat lamb often enough to keep this place in business? Never been a big seller in my family.

I was really hoping for maybe an Olive Garden kiosk that had prepared foods that are authentic, or maybe a tappas to go Taco Bell. Maybe one of these days.

**Hospitalitygirl** · 12-31-2012, 09:41 AM

Yum...lamb!!!

**raider.adam** · 12-31-2012, 09:48 AM

Stopped at Wursthaus the other day when I was down there. Good stuff.

I don't see why charcuterie can't apply to lamb. Delicatessen btw used to just mean a gourmet shop but the usage has become more narrow. A speciality shop like this can thrive in RTM, especially with the prepared stuff for the lunch crowd.

Is this the first chain in RTM?
