Pork Belly St lawrence Market

[jamesm]

Is there a place in St.Lawrence that reliably carries pork belly?

Sausage king by oliffes has pork belly and I believe its berkshire.
U may also call them and ensure that they have it or stock it for the day u will go.

I saw that on the way out and they did have some beautiful bellies in the display case. I regretted grabbing the ones from whitehouse but I was in a rush. Although, I have them in the oven now and they look pretty good.

I'm 99 percent sure you can get it at the first meat vendor on the east wall of the south market. I sorry that I can't remember the name.

I believe that's La Boucherie and yes, I am sure that they woudl generally have it.

Thanks for the replies. I stopped in after work since it's the closest place and I have to get home for my dog. I only asked because if it was a definite no then I would simply change my menu for tomorrow night and I do recall looking for pork belly there a few years ago to no avail. Pork Belly is pretty common now as grandgourmand pointed out and I got some from whitehouse for 3.99 lb. Pretty much every other butcher also had generous slabs of belly displayed as well although I didn't note the prices. So, to answer my own question and for the benefit of anyone who else who might search the board for such a request, yes pork belly is readily available in St. Lawrence and there is no need to seek out a specialty asian market for the product as kagemusha suggested. Unless that is more convenient for you of course.

" there is no need to seek out a specialty asian market for the product as kagemusha suggested. Unless that is more convenient for you of course."

Or if you want to save money. Maybe not T&T, as its more expensive compared to the other asian grocery stores. But if its super out of the way then its not worth the gas!

[grandgourmand]

Maybe Delisio's. That's the one near the fishmongers.

Maybe Witteveen's.

Not sure really, haven't been for a while. Always found SLM subpar for getting "off" cuts, although pork belly is pretty mainstream.

[Kagemusha]

Go to T&T.

[jamesm]

Thanks but T&T doesn't work for me. St. Lawrence Market does. Which is why I specified it.
