Eric Morris to launch Goss Ave Deli in Schnitzelburg

Dock Seafood initially opened in 1977 in Clarksville, but the longtime location at 1125 State St. in New Albany seems to have made it synonymous with the Floyd County seat. “Future site of” signs went up a few months ago at 1707 State St., only a few blocks away nearer to Baptist Health Floyd Hospital.
