  • Frank Pinello continues his Frank Experience adventures by checking out the Acme Smoked Fish factory headquarters in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Frank learns what it takes to go from a full salmon to the finely sliced lox that’s become an iconic New York City staple. From filleting to brining to smoking to slicing, it's all done by hand at Acme, and Frank was there to learn every step of the process.
