Ive looked at oxtail , at higher end , local small family owned stores.
much better than average stuff , all around.
w good quality service meat counters.
Ive never seen ox tails packed up ( they don't have OT at the service counter )
other than those that were really small , w very little meat , and id guess m based on your comments , more fat
on the circumference than justified by the meat .
I think meaty OT , go elsewhere , as these days , they are pretty pricy
for very long cook meat.
