O nce deemed the smoked fish capital of the country, Brooklyn, N.Y., has seen a swiftly changing landscape in the past 50 years, from mid-century industrialization to modern-day gentrifi- cation. Some historic elements remain—among them, Acme Smoked Fish Company, which has grown to become one of the largest smoked-fish producers in the country. Its secret to success: steady evolution, a far- reaching commitment to quality, and embracing its roots and the community in which it resides. Creating an age-old product that's just hitting its mainstream stride, Acme knows smoked fish. A tour of its factory sheds light on this prosperous company's humble begin- nings, its commitment to high quality, and a taste of things still to come.
