The NYC Food Scene
New York City has long been known as a culinary culture extravaganza with restaurants featuring flavors and dishes from all over the world. In addition, it’s developed a flavor of its own with deli-style favorites, luxurious dining experiences, and culinary treats that have become a staple in the NYC food scene. With fine dining experiences across the city, as well as our own Petrossian boutique, there’s no better way to experience the flavors of New York than to dive into the selection of flavors from Petrossian.
From pastrami-style smoked seafood to classic caviar, the best bagels, and just about everything in between, there’s a way to bring the best of New York gourmet food directly to you, wherever you may be.
A Love Affair with Seasonings
New York isn’t known for subtlety and bold spices and flavors are always a City standout. After all, it’s the city that made pastrami famous. It’s no wonder that Petrossian took that famous flavor and applied it to our seafood. While deli-style pastrami on rye is a NYC staple, we’ve elevated that expression of seasonings by creating our pastrami style smoked trout. Think luxury meets the deli in a way that only New York City could inspire.
From the choice loin of the trout fillet, we’ve produced a succulent, smoky slice, which has spent seven magical hours in our cold smoker. The result is an unimaginably tender fillet, bursting with fragrance and subtle oils. Serve at room temperature to allow the full flavor profile to express itself.
With such rich flavors, you can enjoy the trout in a variety of ways. Take the classic pastrami on rye to entirely new levels with smoked trout, instead. Or pair with a bing caviar that will hold its own alongside the pastrami seasoning, such as our Classic Baïka Caviar. This caviar has a distinctive dark, briny flavor that will hold its own, while delighting the friend who can never get enough shellfish or seafood. Trust us, you’ll never look at New York City pastrami the same way again!
Slightly Different Seasoning
If pastrami just isn’t your thing, it’s okay, we’ll forgive you. But let us offer this divine alternative: Black Sea Spiced Tsar-Cut Salmon. Time is a key ingredient in the gloriously robust yet delicate flavor or our award-winning spiced salmon. Marinated in a potent blend of spices using a 100-year-old Petrossian family recipe, it's then cold-smoked at a snail's pace to preserve the complex flavors and enhance its silky texture. You just can't rush perfection, even in NYC.
Take some time to savor the flavor of this unique smoked salmon, while indulging in the richness of New York. When paired with our timeless, most popular Royal Ossetra Caviar, you’ll appreciate the flavors even more. This rich expression of Ossetra has inspired generations of caviar lovers with its perfect balance of refined, savory brine and subtle notes of dried fruit and toasted grains that will add a gush of flavor over the spiced smoked salmon without either one overtaking the other - the perfect pairing, indeed!
There's something about our Royal Ossetra that keeps our most loyal customers coming back time and again. Perhaps it's the firm, potent grains. Maybe they appreciate the way Ossetra fills the senses with its rich, mineral perfume. It could be the endless, toasted finish washing over the palate. It's probably all of the above. Millions of caviar lovers can't be wrong, so be sure to take a taste of this proven winner.
Looking to make it a NYC classic? Add some crunch! Not just any crunch, and while crackers or crostini may do just fine, anyone who knows New York knows that “just fine” just isn’t good enough. Any good New Yorker loves their chips. Served alongside pastrami sandwiches, with a deli pickle, or just a quick grab-and-go snack, chips are a great addition to just about anything. But don’t settle for boring - our chips are lightly seasoned with Maras salt and delicately prepared in sunflower oil. This mixture of colorful chips provides any pairing with a crisp texture and a robust, earthy tone.
The Best Bagels
We’d be remiss if we excluded NYC bagels from our list. While the best place for a bagel is up for debate depending on who you ask, we’re more concerned with what you put on that bagel. Whether you’re looking for hand made small batch bagels, or classic plump style everything bagels, the options in New York are just about endless. However, we suggest you switch from a classic cream cheese to crème fraîche, and lox to our gourmet sliced smoked salmon.
It takes time, patience and practice to cold smoke a North Atlantic salmon to perfection. Using only the finest cuts and our “slow and steady” five-day method, we give our fish the time they need to absorb the rich beechwood smoke and melt in your mouth. After nearly 100 years of preparing smoked salmon, we know exactly when the fish has reached peak flavor. The result of our family method is a fresh, fragrant salmon, sliced into delicate ribbons that vanish at parties and other gatherings. We promise you'll never go back to ordinary smoked salmon after you've tasted our best.
Now imagine this with crème fraîche and a dollop of Daurenki atop a freshly baked NYC bagel. Are you swooning yet? Daurenki® is known as the "caviar lover's caviar," and for good reason. Loved for its complex flavor and unique blend of brine and fruity notes, it's a sublime study in contrasts. The burst of juicy brine, followed by a nuanced flavor profile of dried fruit and toasted grains on the tongue, with savory butter lingering on the finish adds the magic touch to the best bagel you’ll ever have.
