Awesome butcher shop! They have goodies like rendered duck, chicken, beef and lamb fats, bone…read morebroth, lamb kidney, they were out of liver and heart but said they carried it. Plenty of frozen off season like duck meat. House cured sausages, pepperonis of several spicy levels, and bacon. The price sticker indicates the cut, price, farm where the meat originated/distance from the shop, and the animal's diet. The guy who helped me was super nice and patient with my browsing. He answered my questions and grabbed the pieces I asked for instead of the biggest ones. I've cooked up half of what I bought and the meat is excellent. The shop is spacious and comfortable and has pantry items, freezer and dairy on the perimeter walls so if you need to wait it's not unpleasant to do so.

Their product is top of the line. You walk in there and the meat options are endless! I have never scene so much bacon in my life. I am a huge lover of bacon and this was the perfect spot. The staff is very knowledgeable about their cuts of meat and when they are uncertain they will call an expert from the back. I was so impressed with the enthusiasm from the staff. They answered all my silly questions and knew how to dig information out of me to understand what I wanted in meat so they could provide the best product. I have yet to enjoy their prepared foods but one day I am going to make a meal out of it. They have somosas, kebabs, sweet spud fries etc. This is one amazing market and it appears the island has embraced it as well. If you find yourself coming to the island and needing supplies you will do yourself a disservice if you don't stop by the Cowichan Valley Meat Market.

I feel that Meridian sells service or is more focus on service than meat. Their service is…read moredefinitely top notch. The place is super clean and well organized. The staff are all wonderful. If you buy meat here, the butcher will take you to the counter and have the payment process there. I shop here quite frequent and have tried many different types of their meat already. I do find that they sometimes have really good deal if you sign up for their newsletter. There was this one time I was here shopping and I decided to grab my meat first and I told the butcher that I am going to do other shopping and will be back to pay. The other butcher saw the meat sitting at the cashier and put it back. When I went to pay, it was not there but the butcher apologized and didn't realize that I was going to come back. The butcher also gave me two free complementary pork chops. That was really nice of him. So it is better to do all your shopping first and save the meat visit last. I like this place and definitely will be back.

And if it…read moreweren't for big hog meat that's being sliced into various parts that caught my eye I may have passed by obliviously. The pricing is very economical and would even silence my picky grandmother. Perhaps because it is family owned and in a not so busy market place. It offers three categories of products: the regular butcher stuff, sliced and ready to go plates of beef lamb pork etc for hot pot, and marinated sausages and Chinese chacuterie meats. I've only had experience with the regular stuff and I've been very satisfied with the level of quality, service, and price. For instance when I approach the counter the owner is always prompt to greet me and for the pig trotters I always get, he'd give them a further shave and slice them into small pieces for me. I like the variety here and besides the standard burger items, this shop is definitely catered to an Asian kitchen: LongGang free range chicken, duck and chicken feet, various innards, pigs blood, intestine etc. For those into that type of stuff this is good place to find them and for those adventurous chefs open to trying new ingredients, this is a cool stop also. Cheerio!
