Smoke Salt and Fire's favorite butchers: Upper Cut Meats

It seems fitting to start a series on our favorite butchers with Upper Cut Meats in St. Lawrence Market, this is the go to butcher for most of our pork and beef projects, their prices on pork belly and shoulder are some of the best in the city, the staff is always friendly and happy to cut your meat to your specification, trimming, removing skin and bone at your request.

They always seem to have a bunch of eager young apprentice meat cutters who are happy to help you out if you know what you're looking for but if you need advice on a project or you're looking for something specific just ask if you can speak to one of the senior butchers and they will be happy to help you out.

 

Of course one of the reasons we love Upper Cut is their great prices, on the day
this was written, pork belly was going for 3.99 a pound and shoulder was 2.99 a pound; other butchers in the Market were selling shoulder for as much as 4.99 and belly for as much as 6.99.

Upper Cut also offer a great selection of beef, lamb and poultry and their quality is top of the line.  So next time you're planning a cooking project that requires great meat at a great price head on down the the St. Lawrence Market and check out Upper Cut Meats.
