I have been reading Aaron Franklins book "A Meat Smoking Manifesto". In Chapter 5 he says "All the brisket we use has never been frozen. Freezing breaks down the fibers in the meat somewhat, and you’ll end up with a mushier product." At the same time Aaron also says "Wagyu beef is really expensive, but I’ve always had great success with the product from Snake River Farms in Idaho." In the resources section Aaron recommends Snake River again. I have purchased Snake River steaks before and to my knowledge, they only come frozen.
The question - is this an inconsistency, or is there a way to get unfrozen Snake River products, or is the Waygu from Snake River so good that, even after the degradation caused by freezing, it's still worth the incredibly high price.
Question 2 - what is the general consensus on frozen meat?
Thanks everyone!
