A-1 Meat Shop In…read moreterms of butchers and providers of unbelievable meat (including Halal meat) A-1 is at the top of my list. Ever since I first had a taste of their pre-marinated meat, I knew it would be a lifelong partnership between us. A-1 started in England and was very successful, so much so that they opened one location in Vancouver and then another. With continued success they opened up a location in Brampton and have been hard sorting peeps out since. From the shop I or my peers will order multiple pounds of the following and proceed to BBQ it via indirect heat for upwards of 35-45min. This ensures that the chicken remains tender juicy and not dry and burnt/charred. Yellow Chicken Wings: This is my favourite marinade at A-1, it is stunningly sweet spicy and savory. Many a time have I eaten multiple pounds of these wings in one sitting, they are so good once you have one you can not stop. This meat is worthy of converting vegetarians. Red Chicken: You may be thinking tandoori but it's not exactly tandoori. I would say it definitely has some tandoori influence, but is definitely A-1's proprietary marinade. Effin' delicious. This chicken is typically available in drumstick, legs, breasts and wings. Red Fish: The fish they use is White Fish and it has the same rub as the chicken above. This item is borderline unreal and if you follow the indirect heating procedure you will ensure you get the most out of this fish. The key is to not overcook it and move it around too much, or the fish will break apart and become dry. Other than the above A-1 also has regular chicken, lamb and other meats for sale. The Brampton location typically has their Red Chicken drumsticks in a rotisserie throughout the day to satisfy patrons who can't wait until they get home to cook the chicken. Order a few pieces from the rotisserie and they will hit it up with garama masala, lemon and massive chunks of onion...Heavenly. The dudes that work at A-1 are very nice people and patient with you if you're a first timer. The prices are very reasonable for the quality and flavour of the meat, the storefront and atmosphere is approachable and clean, and their website is solid with great pics, pricing and even recipes. Definitely my favourite BBQ resource.

We have been ordering our holiday hams and turkey's here for over a decade and it never…read moredisappoints. In recent years we've opted for turkey stuffed turkey breast instead of the whole bird because the smallest one was 15+ lbs! The quality of meats here is always remarkable. The staff who have been working here for years are always friendly, knowledgeable, and work around this shop like a well oiled machine. In pre-pandemic times, they would offer a free Christmas dinner in a cup where you could add everything including cranberry sauce and gravy and enjoy it while you wait for your order to come out. My suggestion is to order well in advance to get on the list. They are doing drive through/car pick ups right now as well.

I wasn't sure what to expect so I opted for some marinated boneless lemon and herb chicken breasts. I cut the chicken up and added my favorite kabob vegetables (red pepper, egg plant and zucchini) and threw them on the bbq. Man, where they ever good. The chicken was probably the freshest I've had. Tender and juicy. Later I found out they already have prepared shish kabobs. Doh! I will definitely return to try their other specialties (ribs and steaks).

When ordering, his butcher will custom cut if you only buy a 1/4 cow when others won't unless you get a1/2 -or more. They also dry age 21 days and sometimes longer but depends on the meat and what the butcher feels is best. The steaks and roasts have an incredible meaty flavour which makes me wonder where the flavour goes from supermarket meat? Please take your time when choosing what you put in your body. Get to know the farmer and make wise choices. We have tried a few different beef farmers in the area and Cartwright is by far the best value and quality we have found to date.

As expected they have good precautionary measures for Covid. The butcher shop is very neat , nice and clean. The meats are separated and placed as per the cuts. They have numerous ready to cook options which are marinated and placed well. Some of the marinated items were Shawarma Chicken, Tandoori , Spicy Tandoori breast etc. Barbecue / grill is super easy when all you had to do was to buy the meet abs straight into the heat. I ordered for some goat and the staff was friendly and professional enough to greet me first and checked with me on the size and the type of cut I wanted. The meat was well packed and handed to me . The price however did look on the higher side . They sold a lot of add on items which are used for cleaning and cooking the meat. This place is definitely worth a try. I am sure you will like this Butcher shop.

The prices are very reasonable and the selection is good. The quality is outstanding. What attracted me to Mario's Meats is the availability of grass-fed beef at a reasonable price. Mario even has wild game meat in the back such as elk, bison, rabbit, venison and others. You should know that Mario's Meats offer delivery if you meet a certain minimum to make the drive worthwhile. Overall, I cannot recommend Mario's Meats enough. I'll be going back very soon for some Mennonite-raised chicken thighs and eggs, as well as grass-fed ground beef. To be clear, Mario has both, 100% grass-fed beef throughout the lifecycle of the cow and grass finished beef, whereby the cow is put on a grass-only diet during the last 3 months before slaughter.
