A&B Famous, one of the most widely recognized names in the kosher food market, has announced a temporary halt in production of its flagship Original Gefilte Fish, citing an unexpected shortage of key fish varieties essential to its recipe.
In a public notice, the company explained that its longstanding reputation rests on strict adherence to kashrus, freshness, and the use of only the highest-quality ingredients, including fish that is never previously frozen. That commitment, the company noted, is the foundation of the product’s “signature fresh, authentic, and delicious flavor.”
According to A&B, seasonal harvesting restrictions have made the specific varieties of fresh fish required for its classic recipe unavailable. As a result, the company said, it is currently unable to produce its Original Gefilte Fish in accordance with its rigorous standards.
“A&B Original Gefilte Fish will be temporarily unavailable until we are once again able to obtain the premium, freshly caught fish required for our recipe,” the notice states.
Despite the shortage, the company emphasized that several other products remain fully stocked. These include White & Pike, Salmon, and Gluten-Free gefilte fish varieties, all of which continue to be produced without disruption.
A&B expressed cautious optimism that the issue will be resolved within two to three weeks, at which point they expect to resume full production and restock the complete line of products.
The notice concludes with an apology for any inconvenience and thanks customers for their loyalty and understanding during the temporary shortage.
A&B Famous is based in Paterson, New Jersey.

This is terrible. Just when you thought the long bittereh galus couldn’t get any worse, this happens. This calls for a Yom tephilla.
The government has been lowering amounts of particular fish they are allowing fishermen to harvest.
On another note, this is probably done off the best marketing they could ever get. I had no clue that they had a line that was specifically fresh/never frozen.
