looking for linguica

[Centerline24]

been trying to get some liguica (portuguese sausage) to either take home or with a meal, anyone know of a good place in west LA, love it on pizza and with eggs..

The best I've ever had is made by Neto's Sausage Co. They're in Santa Clara but you can order online @ netosausage.com

The places I have found it in WLA [Sorrento's, Bob's Market] have it fresh and not smoked. Though I have not tried any of the places mentioned here. When I want true stuff, I send back to a couple of places in New Bedford and Fall River MA but the price is exorbitant. I have started to in some cases to substitute the Linguca with Chorizo for My Stuffed Quahogs but that maybe my accepting the limitations of where I live.

I am pretty sure that I saw it at Surfa's last weekend.

If you're looking for the kind that is eaten in the Islands, go to Marukai - but you will need a membership card, or go with someone who has one. The last time I went, they had at least four different brands in the refrigerated section alone, and more in the freezer section. You can stash away lots of it...

Also, I think there's a relatively Portugese bakery in Sherman Oaks - I believe J. Gold did a write-up within the past few monthes. I believe they also serve some food, and I wouldn't be surprised if they also sold linguica - can't remember the name though. Someone recently posted a question asking where to find good Portugese food - the bakery was mentioned.

Seen several brands at Seafood City (market) at Eagle Rock Mall ground floor. Ooooops--not in WLA.

It's called linguiça (soft c) in Portuguese, but sorry I don't know where to find it.

You can sometimes find it at Jons.There is a pretty heavy Portugese community in the Artesia area. I remember tons of bakeries and markets there.

Marukai (West Covina, Torrance) also has versions that are made in Hawaii. At least I know they have Redondo's brand.

Huntington Meats and Sausage, a stall at the Original Farmers' Market next to the Grove, carries it.

Ralph's Markets generally carry linguica. I have purchased it at the one in Studio City. I also frequently order from a place in San Luis Obispo County called "Ray's Own Brand". Really good and shippped conveniently. www.raysownbrand.com
