Of all the American cities that are renowned for their seafood, Louisville, Ky. might not be an obvious choice. However, one former meat shop has garnered nationwide recognition for its array of seafood specialty products. Whether it’s smoked trout, caviar or a salmon burger, Shuckman’s Fish Co. & Smokery is bringing innovation to the seafood category.
The Shuckman family has been helping to feed Louisvillians since 1919, says current president Lewis Shuckman. His grandfather started the company almost 100 years ago as a supermarket and a butcher shop. He quickly became a big part of the community, especially in the Flood of 1937 that devastated the area.
