Q&A: Butcher
Q: Where would I find a flank, hanger, skirt or onglet steak? I cannot find a store to buy it.
A: Any butcher in the Atwater or Jean Talon markets, or Marche de l’Ouest on Boul. des Sources, DDO should be able to cut these for you.
If you want great prices on meat, head to Mayrand (note they will be moving in Feb, see both addresses below), the no-fee wholesale food store is piled 20 feet high with everything you’d find in a supermarket and beyond. It stocks 4 times more selection than that famous warehouse club with more consistency and choices.
Since they are oriented for sales to restaurants, hotels and institutions, their prices have always been excellent. It also means that you can often find select meat in the AA or sometimes AAA grades, whole filet mignons and rib roasts, pork rump and hock, homemade sausages, marinated chicken and pork, fish and seafood.
