Looking to find a retailer that carries pork belly maybe some berkshire pork shoulder would also be great. My guess would be an ethnic market, or specialty butcher shop but have not seem to be able to locate one. I would be willing to drive hopefully not too far. Thank you Wed Sep 23 18:22:58 -0700 2009 1111539 Juan N Million 1 5054083 The bigger Asian markets here in Tampa have it in abundance... Raw... I ask about it when I visit some of the authentic Chinese restaurants in the area...

The only ones I know of that still exist are kosher butchers - where you're not likely to find pork belly or shoulder. Your best bet for pork belly is indeed ethnic markets or supermarkets that are catering to ethnic populations. I've seen more variety of meat parts, including, I believe, pork belly, at Food Giant than I do at Publix / Whole Foods / Freshmarket. I've never seen anything remotely resembling heritage pork products at any of the markets. They're bigger on beef than pork products but you may want to check out Estancia Argentina in the Aventura area on Biscayne Blvd. www.foodforthoughtmiami.com Wed Sep 23 20:41:16 -0700 2009 5053773 35525 Frodnesor 1 5054709 Seen it at Penn Dutch in Hollywood. Not heritage at all, but they carry it. The place can be a bit intimidating and chaotic, but they've got great prices and their prodcut turnover is pretty high so the stuff is probably fresh (maybe not the best pedigree, but fresh). Produce there is another story.
