You can find caul fat in Chinatown.

Or - last time I checked, which was a long while ago - Esposito's pork store on Ninth Avenue around 38th or 39th Street.

Usually the caul fat is sold frozen. I defrost it in lukewarm water with a drop of vinegar.

I've purchased it at the Esposito's in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn. It's not out for display, but they'll sell you some of theirs. It isn't frozen.

found it at Jefferson market...who wudda thunk it? Actually there butcher are very accomidating and nice. They're really quite good. I much prefer their meat to Citarella. They actually know how to cut meat (not jus trim it).

rant over. :smile:
