Is a butcher more expensive than a supermarket?

Sometimes, sometimes not, and the comparison depends on the cut. Ask for the per-kilogram price of the cut you want rather than comparing a single pack size, and ask whether they will cut to order at no extra charge.

What does dry-aged mean?

The meat is aged in a temperature- and humidity-controlled environment rather than vacuum-sealed, which concentrates flavour and reduces yield. It is a real process and it should be visible and explained, not just a word on a label.

Can I order a bulk pack?

Most butchers offer bulk or mixed packs at a lower per-kilo price. Ask what the pack contains and whether you can swap items, because a cheap pack of cuts you will not eat is not cheap.

Where does the meat come from?

Tasmanian butchers are often explicit about local sourcing, and some name the farm. Ask if that matters to you - the answer tells you how much of it is actually local.

About butchers in Devonport

Devonport is the north-west's port city, where the Spirit of Tasmania berths and freight heads inland to the Coast and up to the highlands. It is the gateway to the north-west and a working port rather than a resort town, with the Mersey River through the middle and the surrounding districts given over to farming and small holdings. Coastal salt air is a fact of life on this stretch of coast.
