Exotic Jerky Shipped to Long Island: Nassau, Suffolk and the East End
Long Island is a striped bass island, and the people we meet at the Rhode Island Saltwater Fishing Expo in March are the same ones casting Montauk in October. The table does not cross the Throgs Neck; the mail does, about two to three days from Albany to anywhere from Great Neck to the Point.

Surfcasting, charter boats and the Montauk fall run
A striper blitz does not pause for lunch, so the food has to be one-handed and salt-proof. Ahi Tuna jerky, a Settlers 7 oz bag, is the one the saltwater crowd buys for the irony and re-buys for the taste; Gator is the one that ends up on the charter boat. The jerky for fishing trips guide works out how much per person for a day on the water, and the show where we meet most Long Island anglers is on the New England and New Jersey page.
Beach bags for Jones Beach, Fire Island and the Hamptons
No cooler, no melting: the 7 and 8 oz resealable beef bags are beach food that survives a July trunk. Cowboy Hickory Smoked and Luau Louie Mild Teriyaki are the family bags, Buffalo Wing Chicken is the one the teenagers claim. For a Hamptons host gift the 3 oz exotics in a 3-pack are the easy answer; the how to store jerky guide covers an opened bag in a hot car.
Ordering from Nassau, Suffolk or the East End
No store on the island and no pickup in Albany. Online orders ship USPS from Albany, usually within two business days, with free shipping on orders of $100 or more. Within the Northeast most packages arrive in 2 to 5 business days. Nassau and western Suffolk usually land in two business days, the East End in three. Four bags or more ship free, and a Build Your Own 6-Pack covers a share house for a weekend.
Nearest shows
