British Columbia, Someone's gotta know a good butcher

[eddiecalder]

I checked the "know a good bucher" Canada section and there was not one listed in BC. I can't even find a butcher with briskets. Someone has to know somewhere. I'm in the Fraser Valley (mission/abbotsford area).

Welcome eddiecalder

How about Dressed To Grill? I don't know anything about them, found them through a Google search. Here's the address and phone number that's on their Facebook web page:

33365 1st Avenue, Mission, British Columbia
Phone number is 604-820-9415

If you scroll down their page far enough you'll find a picture of a 17-1/2 pound brisket so it looks like they carry them.

Hope that helps and welcome to the pit!

Might help if I'd have included a link to their page, here you go:

The on site selection is very limited (chicken breasts, steaks etc sasuage). No ribs or pork shoulders when I was there. I emailed them to see if I can order a brisket. The problem is that if I'm going to pay $8/lb I want to pick one myself.

It is possible the selection was limited when I was there. I did stop by after work so it is possible they sold out.

I'm probably just turning up places that you already know about but here's a Yelp list:

eddiecalder Beefway Meats in Vancouver has packer's brisket in cryopacks available regularly for 7.68/lb double AA beef. They also will sell their own beef which is AAA and organic for the same price when they have it in stock.

A friend of mine sent a picture of a Korean butcher in langley for 5.49/lb I am trying to get the name and address for the place myself right now so will update this thread once I have it.

eddiecalder There must be lots of places in the Fraser Valley where you could buy a packer cut. I live in Kelowna and I know 3 butcher shops that carry them.

The problem is that it's over $8/lbs everywhere I've looked in the Fraser Valley.

I found Cash n' Carry in Bellingham and found choice packers for $2.39/lb.

I picked up prime packers at Costco in Kirkland WA for 2.99/lb on Sunday. I cleared their stock lol. I haven't checked bellingham yet though. I was in Renton so stopped in Kirkland on the way home.
