Delaware Delicacies Smoke House

The owner is engaging and personable, and the smoked meat is DELICIOUS! We return several times each year, and the hot smoked salmon is one of our favorites ? ?❤️

Mr Turner is a legend. It's worth going just to walk through his establishment. Anything you buy there is top notch. I've been going there now on and off for a few years and I've yet to buy one of his famous smoked eels. But I think eventually my timing will be in my favor. Hard place to find but it's worth it

The old hairbag does not disappoint.

If there ever was an embodiment of the tired expression “it’s the journey, not the destination” this is it. First of all, the smoked items this legendary man produces live up to the reputation. But more than that, trekking up to the Catskills, down into the valley, to the end of a dirt road, you find yourself transported in time. Mr. Turner may begrudgingly allow you to buy eel or salmon or shrimp that he has lovingly smoked for ten hours the day before. And it will be worth every mile of the drive- no matter where you start the journey from.

Had a great experience today meeting this cool dude, Ray Turner, the Eel Man of Hancock NY. His products are delicious - never had smoked shrimp before but I want to go back right now for more! Mom will love the Hemp honey and we’ll have the smoked salmon with our Long Island bagels this week! We’ll be back sir! Picture a smart salute right back at you! GDA ???

I've been a huge fan of the Filthy Riches show for years and a huge fan of Ray. For my birthday my husband took me to meet him and check out his smokehouse. We got smoked shrimp, lobster, chicken, and trout. I was blown away. It was without a doubt the absolute best smoked meats I have ever had. Didn't have any eel's but we will be back in September for those and we will keep going back. Also, sending all my coworkers and friends! THIS IS A MUST TRY! Thank you Ray for the awesome experience. You are outstanding.
