    Back in the 60's I worked at a New York style delicatessen for the four years I was in high school. Our lox came in a metal tray from a place in Nova Scotia hence its name NOVA Lox. It became one of my all time favorite foods. The only problem is is that once you've had the best there is, then everything else pales in comparison. So now I make my own, still not as good but closer than any of this "salmon paste" that's found in today's markets.
