Corkshire is the Salty Cod Restaurant's retail fresh meat and seafood market that specializes in…read moredry aged beef from their in-house dry aging room. They take orders of fresh meats and seafoods and can source almost anything fresh: think exotics, thanksgiving turkeys, and in-season seafood. Crown roast of pork is the "fanciest" meat I have ever prepared, and the hubs doesn't eat red meat. That being said, their meat selection is excellent, and the dry aging process is so intriguing to me! Dry aging intensifies flavor and promotes tenderness. The equipment to dry age like Corkshire has is apparently pricy. I was impressed by their price points on nearly everything, beef to seafood! This shop is beyond clean, the staff are friendly and for me, it's just fun to see what's on display in the dry-aging section. I'm excited Corkshire is in our little town and offers exciting options in terms of meats and seafood. Thanks Salty Cod and Corkshire!

I've been to Corkshire a few times now and have been impressed with everything including the…read moreselection and quality of the meats and service. I was first drawn to them after calling and finding out they had plate beef ribs to make those "dianasaur ribs" you see on TV. Yep they had them, along with other exotic meats I never thought I'd run into in a small butcher store in northern Alabama. Since then, it's been my go-to store for special event steaks and such where I want something a notch above what we find in the stores. Yes, the pricing is a little higher, but your paying for the quality. Actually it's still a savings compared to what you'd get in a restaurant if you went there for the same steak! I live in Florence and have to travel to get there, but it's worth it. Their service has always been friendly and welcoming each time, so giving them my patronage is also worth it to me to help keep this gem in business!

A great place to get personalized service. After just a few visits they are greeting you by name…read more Steaks, chops, bacon, ham and roasts cut to your specs. Best breakfast sausage in town. They offer animal slaughter and preparation of the resulting products. There are truly "country" items here that you can't find at the grocery store. Real lard. Rendered fat that hasn't been processed, cleaned, homogenized or whatever other processes store bought lard goes through. Certain days, and while supplies last, pork rinds (cracklin', skins, chicharrones). Locally harvested honey. They don't offer a large selection of beef steak, but what they do offer has always been high quality. I wish they offered New York Strip. I get bacon ends and pieces, by the pound, to use for various things in the kitchen. Wonderful for rendering in an iron skillet and cooking onions in it, before adding to pinto beans or other dishes. Running it through a meat grinder to add to raw cat food. (They were able to procure a couple beef hearts for me to use in cat food making). I can usually walk in and get a variety of meats, cut my way, and then go to a grocery store for miscellaneous items needed to turn it all into wonderful meals. They offer pulled pork (isn't smoked) as well as, slug burger meat mixture http://www.slugburgerfestival.com/what-are-slugburgers/

I purchased a half cow from Rickman's based on the excellent experience I had with them last year…read more At that time, the product quality and customer service were both outstanding. Unfortunately, this most recent purchase was a major disappointment. The ground beef is significantly overworked, with a texture more like paste than proper ground beef. It has an unusually soft, almost mushy consistency, and the meat-to-fat ratio also seems off. While cooking, I have had to drain excessive amounts of grease. The flavor is acceptable, but the texture is often mealy and unpleasant. I contacted the butcher to provide feedback. I was not seeking a replacement for the roughly 120 pounds of ground beef I received. I simply wanted acknowledgment of the issue and reassurance that steps would be taken to prevent it from happening again. Instead, I was told the texture was the result of the cow's genetics. I found that explanation difficult to accept, as texture issues of this nature are typically associated with processing and preparation. Rather than addressing the concern, the response appeared to shift responsibility away from the butcher and onto the rancher. What disappointed me most was not the product itself, but the handling of the concern. A sincere acknowledgment and a willingness to discuss the issue would have gone a long way. Unfortunately, based on both the product quality and the customer service response, I will not be making future purchases from Rickman's.

I got Ribeyes, ground beef, oxtails and a couple whole femur bones for the dogs. The ribeyes were…read morethe best I have had in years, so tender with great marbling and flavor. Ground beef was lean, oxtails were trimmed very well so I wasn't paying a lot for fat and the dogs are still chewing on the bones two weeks later. I work for a Vet and he approved the raw femur bones for my large dogs. Never give cooked bones, rawhide, ears, or bones from fowl. Im so glad I found this meat market. The butcher was so very nice and helpful.
