Where can one get brisket (raw) near Milford, CT

I want to make this mexican brisket recipe. Saw on a cooking show, and I'm dying to try it; doesn't it look delicious? http://patismexicantable.com/2010/10/...

My local ShopRite doesn't seem to sell brisket. I'm sure I could special request it from the butcher, but does anyone know of any place between Bridgeport and New Haven that has it regularly in stock? Does Ferraro's sell brisket normally? Liscio's? Anyone know? Thanks

    I wanted to thank Isnhc. I purchased the brisket at Costco and it was great, as was the price, which I'm sure would probably have been double at Whole Foods next door. THANKS!

    And the recipe above was wonderful too by the way.

      Amity Meat in Woodbridge probably will have it. Right off the Meritt.

        I can always get good brisket flats at BJs in Stratford. Whole Foods will have them too, but you'll have to pay prices usually reserved for "fancier" cuts of meat . . . . kind of defeats the purpose of making a brisket. If you head a little more south, Stew Leonard's is also a quality option.

          Sam's Club also sells packer briskets if there is one in your corridor ...

            Ferraro's is the way to go. Just make sure you specify that it is a raw brisket otherwise you will get one that has been sitting in a brine.

              Costco always has briskets at a very good price.

              Many times you can get it at Whole Foods at the butcher counter.

                Just saw some beautiful looking brisket there this morning, in fact.
