ACME SMOKED FISH CORP. AND BLUE HILL BAY SMOKED SEAFOOD GO WILD AT NASFT FANCY FOOD SHOW CHICAGO

Alaskan King, Sockeye and Alaskan White King Headline Company’s Wild Products

CHICAGO, IL (May 2, 2004) - Acme Smoked Fish Corp. is going wild at the NASFT Fancy Food Show in Chicago’s McCormick Place May 2-4, as it showcases an expanded line of smoked wild salmon offerings.

Acme Smoked Fish Corp. is a fourth-generation, family-owned smokehouse in Brooklyn, NY, that is known for its wide range of superior smoked fish products sold under the Acme and Blue Hill Bay brand names.

Among the wild and the new salmon offerings in its expanded product line are:

• Acme Wild Alaskan King Cold Smoked Salmon
• Acme Hot Smoked Wild Alaskan White King Salmon
• Blue Hill Bay Wild Alaskan Sockeye Cold Smoked Salmon
• New! Forman & Field Imported Scottish Cold Smoked Salmon – An Acme Exclusive

“Wild salmon has been part of Acme’s smoked fish product mix throughout its 50 year history,” said Acme director of marketing, Emily Caslow. “Consumer tastes are always evolving and right now, there’s an increased interest in wild salmon, which we are pleased to meet with these expanded product offerings.”

Ms. Caslow noted that sales of smoked fish have been increasing in recent years, a trend he said could be attributable to the popularity of high protein diets and consumer awareness about the health benefits of eating fish high in omega-3 fatty acids.

Acme Smoked Fish Corp. – A Family Business and a Family Tradition

Acme Smoked Fish Corp. was founded by Harry Brownstein, who, after emigrating to the U.S. from Russia in the early 1900s, found employment in the smoked fish business as a wagon jobber. Harry purchased fresh, hot smoked fish from smokehouses in his horse-drawn wagon and hand-delivered them to small grocery and appetizing stores.  Eventually, through hard work and dedication, Harry achieved his dream of owning a smokehouse.

This year, Acme Smoked Fish Corp. marks five decades as a family owned and operated smokehouse. Still based in Brooklyn, NY, the company is managed by Harry’s grandsons, Eric and Robert Caslow, and the fourth generation, Eric's son David and Robert’s daughter, Emily, are now following in the footsteps first cast by their great grandfather.

Just as wagon jobbers no longer peddle smoked fish door-to-door, Acme has responded to market demands by modernizing its Brooklyn factory, dramatically increasing production capabilities and expanding its regional sales teams nationwide.

In 2000, the company launched the Blue Hill Bay Smoked Seafood product line, comprised of all-natural and preservative-free smoked fish ranging from plain and flavored salmon to brook trout, tuna and more.

Acme Smoked Fish Corporation, located at 30 Gem Street in the Greenpoint section of Brooklyn, is now one of the largest single-plant processors of smoked fish and herring in the United States, and it is still family-owned and operated.
