Plot

Meet Walter Himmelstein, affectionately known as Putzel, a young man whose world is confined to a family-owned fish store located in Manhattan's upper west side. In this delightful romantic comedy, complete with love, lust, and smoked fish, Putzel's life is as predictable as the tide...until Sally enters the picture. As she becomes entwined in a romantic entanglement with Putzel's married, soon-to-retire uncle—the very man whose fish store Walter is set to inherit—Walter's life begins to ripple and wave in ways he could never have imagined. Met with the challenge of navigating this unexpected turn of events, Putzel finds his once predictable life suddenly upended. Throughout the course of this heartwarming tale, Walter learns that he is not just the ordinary 'Putzel' everyone has always seen him as, but a man capable of emerging from his shell and taking on the world, one smoked fish at a time.
