Butcher that sells casings?

I'm dying to make my own sausage -- without spending time on mail order, where in San Francisco can I go and get casings immediately?

Thanks!

    The market in the Mission still sells casings, and Avedano's in Bernal Heights sells pork and lamb or goat casings - but lot more expensive.

      The butcher shop on the southwest corner of 23rd and Mission sells sausage casings. I don't know the name off the top of my head, but will make note of it when I go by there this afternoon and post it if you want.

        Also the butcher shop at the northwest corner of 22 and Mission
        in that little mall behind Popeyes. Sorry don't know the number.

        If you special-order them from a supermarket or try to buy them
        from Schwarz Sausages in the Mission (both viable possibilities) they're
        going to charge you a metric buttload.

        Sorry, I don't have the name or number for the 22nd and Mission
        butcher shop, but that's where I get mine. Butcher's in the back, you
        can't see it from the street. Casings are hugely cheaper here, like
        under $10 for more than you could ever, ever use.

            my freinds and i made sausage a few years back and we found casings at Lucky Pork Store. they also gorund up a a variety of meats for us fresh.

            Drewe's brothers makes their own sausage, but i haven't seen the casings in the meat case. (maybe they have some in back to sell?)

            Other wise i would recommend trying some of the chinese butchers along Clement.

            How about Golden Gate Meats at the Ferry Plaza?

              Any butcher that makes sausages should be able to sell you a pint. What neighborhood?

                I'm in Pacific Heights -- I've been calling around all morning; Mollie Stones and Whole Foods have offered to place an order but I have been very disappointed with both Google and Switchboard searches in that they don't really bring up local butchers!

                    They require a 30-lbs order. I hardly need $50.00 worth of casings...

                    Thanks for trying though! I'm still making calls...
