Same thing with beef. Marbling in steak is a must for me. The untrimmed fat is the best shortening to cook in.

Anyone else notice the resemblance? [bigwhistle]

Are you insinuating that fish look like their owners?[wink11]

I don't think anyone is saying that, but you really need to put some cream on that scaly skin! :lol2:

Was just at my local butchers - those little 20c sized pieces of sheep meat that look like they are on sticks - $59 a kilo - really[bigsad]

All my chops cost me is time and a bit of knife work[thumbsupbig][biggrin]
$56 a kilo is daylight robbery because I am absolutely certain that the farmers don't get anything like that sort of money for their stock.

No we are not, however there is probably more to it than you realise.

Freight, cold storage, numerous butchers/meat processor's, of course the buildings these things are in aren't free either, insurance equipment etc...

I'm not saying no one is gouging though, but it would be hard to prove/find out where all the money went.

I previously was in the company of an area manager for WW and he told me meat is the only section in the shop that loses money, but they need to keep that section to pull customers in.

FWIW most growers will we be getting in the region of $9-10 per kilo dressed for the whole carcass.

So depending on weight, that's $180- $220 per animal.

Yes, but I'd guess that the dressed chops are the priciest lamb cut. OTOH, Costco typically have half a lamb for a bit over $100.
