We cooked it tonight on a grill and it was superb! I'd recommend if you are in the area.

Hands down the most phenomenal butcher shop in the area. Well, it may be the only one in the area…read moreunless you head east for several miles then you may come across a local butcher shop in the Manchester area. On 6/10/23, they held an open house to showcase their meats and options available to the general public. They are a butcher shop specializing in cow, pig, lamb and chicken, but they offer many other things in their freezers. The place is small, so go early when they open as you'll get first pick of the freshest meat in the refrigerator on the right side. Those are meats that were cut within the last 24 hours, vacuum sealed and placed directly into the fridge. Next to that fridge is their selection of beer jerky. Next to the meat fridge is also one containing pasta salads, homemade cretons and other sides you would typically add to your BBQ. On the left side is where you'll find the majority of their products in the freezer section. You can get anything from pork belly, bacon, fried clam strips, fish, chicken, lamb, chicken hearts, ribeyes, ground sirloin and SO much more. I didn't even scratch the surface with that list. My wife and I purchased a 1.5lb sirloin steak, 1lb of fresh lobster meat, a pound of bacon, one 0.94lb ribeye steak, a decent size ham steak, and fried clam strips (frozen). Price wise I feel they are very competitive, if not better, than local grocery stores who cut their meats on site or get them pre-cut and delivered. The quality of the sirloin was incredible. I cooked it to a perfect medium and the fat around the edges melted like butter and it was one of the most tender piece of meats my wife has ever had. Her words, not mine. She is a tough one to impress when it comes so steaks. Sorry to those local corporate grocery stores and Walmart because we are getting all our meats from here on out at Castonguay meats. The original owner and creator was on hand during the open house to welcome us. I am willing to travel to this place just to get my meats moving forward for all future BBQs.

If you want to be pleasantly surprised, pull over and stop at Castonguay Meats. They have basically…read moreevery type of meat under the sun, and the best Barbecue Sauce I've had in Maine yet. Everything I've been able to try from Castonguay has been top tier! They also slaughter beef, pork, and lamb, and make Meat Package deals. Not like I've had to do any of that but maybe someday.

Called ahead of time for a tray of red snapper hot dogs, and the guy was nice enough to actually take us right inside in their cooler area to show us the freshly made ones that were hanging.

This two-store chain reminds me of the AG stores that you find in small towns as an option to traveling far to a supermarket or the very expensive convenience store prices. The people working here are friendly and they carry a fair variety of items. They have a team of butchers and two display cases, so there is quite a focus on meats. The meat prices tend to be a bit higher than the supermarket, though not always, and I assume the quality is higher also. They usually have some marked-down meats I sometimes avail myself of also. They even have frozen chicken hearts, gizzards and livers, the last of which I sometimes buy for myself and our cats (my wife can't stand liver). They have excellent bakery items, store-made take home meals, a fair variety of produce, drinks, snacks - well, you get the idea. They have a loyalty program that, since I do the bulk of my shopping elsewhere, doesn't result in many five-dollar off rewards, but it also gives me access to their weekly coupons. The grocery items are usually a bit higher than the supermarkets, which have an increased volume of sales, but perfectly reasonable , nowhere near convenience store pricing. Plus you are supporting a local business. There are also gas pumps off to the side if you want to get that done while you are there.

Service is usually pretty good. All the ladies in there are really nice except for one she's kind of moody. But I suppose we all have our days I know I do. The atmosphere is good. It's clean. People are friendly. Basically, the biggest thing is the prices and the fact that the meat doesn't seem to be the same quality it used to be otherwise I would've given him a five stars review.
