thx mooshmouse, I'll definitely check out beefway meats. Ya Nick I've seen T&T's whole cryovac'd ribeyes, and its true the quality is pretty appalling. I am looking for at least a AAA and hopefully prime grade beef. I just didn't understand why costco was selling their untrimmed AAA whole ribeyes at $15 per Kg, that is like $34 per pound! most butchers sell their AAA cut, preped and portioned rib steaks for only 20 bucks a pound. how can an unpreped product of the same grade be so much more expensive? i was hoping to save money to cut my own steaks and perhaps age it myself. costco's price is pretty crazy high.

thx guys, will head down to steveston soon to try and find kuroshio. got some cured ikura from fujiya recently, the quality is not that great though ...

does anyone have experience in buying whole untrimmed rib eye of beef or whole strip loins? I'm looking for one that is around 10 pounds or so, and wondering what would be the average price and best place to get it. costco seems to be a tad high in price ... 15.39 per Kg ... I was expecting a much lower price.

does anyone know where to purchase cured/uncured ikura in Vancouver? I dont really mind if they are in their egg sacs or preped already. i was also wondering if anyone know where to purchase good quality uni.

was wondering if anyone here have experience in digging for clams in and around greater Vancouver area? savory / manila / little necks / cockles/ geoducks? perhaps someone is willing to give me some pointers to their favorite beach?

the italian deli Cioffi's on hastings have duck foie frozen as well.
