I could go for an onion bagel with whitefish salad.
I miss the Bagel Chalet in Commack.

The Bagel Club in Bayside off the Clearview...
Miss that place ever since I moved away.
Brooklyn Bagels is pretty underrated. Think their locations are all in Queens and Manhattan though

I never heard of it but I do understand missing your old places. Back in the old days (1987-88) I worked at a gas station during the graveyard shifts. First thing I did some mornings would hit Bagel Chalet. I would order either the whitefish salad or the egg salad on a onion or everything bagel. They would put so much salad on the bagel that I would order 2 extra bagels. It was enough for me to make 3 separate sandwiches. Money was tight in those days. Some weeks I would get a dozen bagels at Bagel Chalet for around $2 and just live off bagels and butter for the week. Probably not that cheap anymore lol.
I hear you... back in the 90's I was all about grabbing a bagel on my walk to high school (Bayside H.S. sans Zack Morris).I never heard of it but I do understand missing your old places.

That said... I think we call agree that once you leave Long Island/NYC the bagels become rolls with a hole in them way too fast.
There’s one close to me. They make a very good bagel.
Utopia Bagel is still the best, but it’s too far away.
I wish they would franchise.

An actual player partnership where the player actually uses the product is always nice to see, just don’t eat too many free bagels Foxy.

White fish and bagels gives me some serious heartburn separately and together are insane, but that with some thinly sliced tomatoes and pickles is the SHIZ.I could go for an onion bagel with whitefish salad.

I’ve been sick since Friday and have not had a normal meal since then and I’m ready

No I looked it up. It is still there. Been there since the early 1980's. Sadly its too far for me to go get a bunch of their sandwiches.

Wow whitefish lovers unite! I know one other person, most are turned off by the smell lol.
Costco sells a 2 lb tub of ACME brand (beep beep) for like 17$, it’s pretty mayoey, I love it. Can’t freeze it though and what with my reflux so no longer buy it

Im a food history nerd so I wonder what breeds were used to make this in Europe before the Great Lakes fish were utilized.

"The North-American Lake Whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis aka the Whitefish in Whitefish salad) is not available here and frankly, not everything has to be shipped around the world when there are perfectly fine relatives (still) frolicking in European waters: Renken, Märanen, Felchen are all of the genus Coregonus."
Never heard of those fish species.
Guessing these too.

For the uninitiated, the real secret is Acme's Fish Fridays. You can pickup orders directly from the Greenpoint warehouse for half the cost of retail.

JFC. This sounds as bad as the Eli Manning interview show on MSG. Just saw an episode where the whitest of white guys tries to “be real” with Fat Joe. Max cringeness..

Bagel Club was very good, but I was always partial to Bagel Oasis in Fresh Meadows. Back in the 80s & 90s they were open 24 hours. It's still there, but the store was cut in half at some point.

I go to the Brooklyn Bagel location in Astoria quite a bit.
Fox’s signature sandwich sounds like it would put me to sleep after 1 bite lol. That’s a whole lotta fat.

The one off the LIE by the Kmart (at least it was Kmart)?
I never ate around there, I had a bad experience with mice/rats running around during a movie at that movie theater next to the Future Diner.
