For starters, I found this Market on Yelp. I was looking for a place to buy affordable lamb. My heritage is English and Irish, and grew up regarding nice leg of lamb and chops as part of our diet, and it has always been my favorite meat meal.
If you do love lamb do not be put off by the market, which is basically a big refrigerated room with a few whole and 1/2 lambs and goat, hanging from racks in the middle of the room and one wall with bins (?) filled with less preferred cuts , shanks, hearts livers etc, I didn't see any legs or chops or ground meat for sale there.I am guessing they were going to restaurants. The meat I got was high end restaurant quality.
First off most of the customers were ( like me ) buying a half or whole lamb to be cut up to order. I chose a whole lamb. 28 lbs I chose to have it cut into 2 legs 2 shanks, and the rest into chops and shoulder steaks?. (more than 2 dozen of the choice little chops plus maybe 6 more shoulder steaks) What was left was about 8 lbs of meaty bones and plate for stews, soups and broth for barley soup YUMMM
All of this for $3.89 per lb.
Of course I did the taste test right away ,(while I was packaging with my seal a meal.)
I personally prefer a little " gamey- er" flavored lamb like you get in Australia and Ireland this is more for American taste, a mild hint of lamb . but I am definately not complaining, and my guests will prefer it I am sure....It was delicious!!!
I did buy 2 goat shanks I may like that even more.
Professional helpful staff, a great young man who insisted on helping me to my car.
Even not knowing what the heck I was doing, I was in and out in less than 20 minutes.
