Any Dexter or Wagyu beef available in butchers in the southeast.

Say my name

As per the title, I wouldn't mind trying some but don't want to travel too far.

On a side note I was in a cattle Mart recently and their beef dinner was very average which is terrible considering it was a cattle Mart. :rolleyes:

So how's about it agriculturalists any info or recommendations?
Or where has very good quality in your opinion?

Thanking you.
It's looking like online ordering may be the only way to do this.

Pity though I'd rather try and support an actual bricks and mortar butchers shop.

Edit: I looked up their contact details and they have a shop in clonmel.
Technically it's in the southeast. But still a bit of a drive from Wexford.
I'd say that'll end up the nearest? So the online may have to do.

Can you order online to pick up in store? For some Reason I thought you could do that with Whelan's!

Got some Wagyu burgers in Kerrigans, Malahide recently. Wouldn't be a huge fan of it. It left a very fatty taste in the mouth. Would like to try Dexter though.

Grogan & Brown Artisan Butchers in Kilkenny do an array of beef and lovely stuff at that too.

Don't know about Dexter and Wagu but give them a call.

I agree with you 're the mart food bar one mart I go elsewhere to get the grub.

I'm not joking when I say this but some of the best meat I've ever tasted has been from a grass fed young jersey x heifer about 18 months old be alot cheaper than wagu tried it before didn't reflect the price tag

Kerrigans in Dublin do Wagyu beef, Order online and it costs about 7 quid for delivery unless you spend a certain amount, Good service though

Saucy Butcher have crocodile burgers. They might be able to sort you out with other cuts and meats as well.

Wish there was - unlike most folks I'm very adventurous in this area. Been to Africa a few times and sampled Crocodile, Impala,Springbok, Ostrich and Buffalo. All very tasty in their own way. Tis why I enjoy visiting France too and chomping on Frogs legs, Snails and Wildboar etc.:D

Crocodile is like a bad rubbery fish. Abolone is nice, wild boar and wild goat are good wouldn’t be keen on ostrich never ate springbok but presume it’s like roo. Snails and frogs legs I wouldn’t even try .

Had proper wagyu steak before and it was unreal. Not something that you would eat every day. Tried most of the above and ostrich was my favourite. Guinea fowl is a really nice meat also.

I think my neighbour is feeding crossbred wagyu for supervalu so it could be in their shops

I'd say the meat in Africa is about as some of the tastiest i've ever eaten. Urdu, Impala and Springbok are delicious.
Between the red wine in Stellenbosch and the meat i could have lived there rightly..

Belted Galloway beef makes lovely burgers too, but the only butchers I know selling it is in Dublin.

Indeed - no doubt down to the natural herbage the animals graze on. Same reason mountain lamb is usually tastier then more conventional stuff

Base price
