Murray's Sturgeon Shop is an appetizing store^[1] and neighborhood fixture in Manhattan's Upper West Side. It is located on Broadway between 89th Street and 90th Street.

The shop was founded by Murray Bernstein in 1945.^[2] A few years later, his brother, Sam, became a co-owner.^[2] The Bernsteins were born in Poland and immigrated to New York in the 1930s to escape anti-semitism.^[2]

The store specializes in smoked fish, especially sturgeon, and caviar.^[2][3] In 1964, The New York Times described it as "one of the busiest places on Broadway" and praised its products as "first quality".^[3] The store ships their fish all over the world, and in 1980 Murray's appetizers were being sold at the Neiman Marcus Epicure Shop in White Plains, New York.^[4]

Show business personalities Sammy Cahn and Zero Mostel were regulars at the shop.^[5]

In 1974, the shop was sold to restaurateur Artie Cutler. Artie took in a partner, Harold "Heshy" Berliner, in 1979. They sold the business to Ira Goller in 1990.^[6]

Sam Bernstein died in 1977 and Murray Bernstein died in 2000.^[2][5]
