I'm putting my faith in the universe that I'm not going to regret sharing my sources...
Fingers crossed this doesn't screw me over on my dinner event shopping.
Will be less than enthused if you guys clean out my sources.
T&T:
Lamb shoulder (Special. I think they sell a limited quantity each day at a loss).
Black cod (aka Sablefish)
PriceSmart:
Kobe finger meat
Kobe oxtail
Kurobuta Berkshire center cut pork chops
Fresh free range chicken
Kim's Mart:
Pork Belly
Tuna (sashimi)
H-Mart:
High-grade beef scraps
Tuna (sashimi)
Hannam:
Small quantity (2 or 3) small sized ribeye steaks
Supreme Meat:
Duck (fresh)
Ribeye (bone-in)
Short rib (4-bone 1"x1"x8" strips, frozen)
Quail eggs
Pork neck bones
Pork leg bones
Chicken bones (frozen)
Pork skin (frozen)
Beef marrow bones (unreliable stock + they will NOT cut for you)
Beef rib bones (frozen)
Baby octopus (frozen)
Whitebait (aka Chinese "white rice fish", frozen)
Beefway:
Pork jowl (untrimmed)
Note:
H-Mart and Hannam have the WORST regular prices for protein on this list (except for the ribeye at Hannam),
but they also have the BEST sales for everything in general.
So if you were to exclusively shop at only 1 place, this will put you ahead in the long-run.
If anybody has cheap and reliable sources for these, it would be most appreciated:
- Fresh sockeye
- Sashimi grade sockeye
- Softshell crab
- Pork bits (head, jowl, ears, skin, trotters)
- Smoked fish (salmon, tuna, etc)
Any questions?
