Ray Turner was very nice... I liked that it is located DEEP in the woods.. Pretty cool to talk about serving in the military

Great to meet Ray. He was exactly as expected. Fun to meet a legend. Can't wait to try the smoked meat we purchased.
This is not a restaurant. He has concerns about covid exposure, be respectful of his precautions and you will have a great experience.

A must feel experience. Exotic place just 5 minutes of I-86 ( former Rt 17). There are a lot smoked delicious foods in the store presented by owner Ray Turner very educated, knowledgeable man and great conversationalist.

Proprietor is the charmingly curmudgeonly, entertaining, and vastly knowledgeable Ray Turner - to say nothing of his love for the river or his expertise in catching and smoking the eels that live there. I only get to visit & shop about once a year, but it is an absolute must of a destination!

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.

Finding Ray and his smokehouse is worth the trip! On our way back to Buffalo we got off Rte. 17 and onto a small road taking you off the beaten path and in to nature where you will find him at the end of the road. The selection was great but more importantly the conversation and passion displayed during our visit made the trip all the better. We will be back in the Spring with our cooler this time and thanks to Ray for helping us with our selections!

Stopped in to see this great little place on 8/2 and couldn't have been happier. Got some smoked shrimp that were as big as lobster tails and a few other items. Spoke with Mr. Turner who is a very interesting and nice individual. It was well worth the detour and I highly recommend stopping by.
