Grocery Haul #5
I’m starting to branch out a little, tiny bit from my usual trips to New World. Several people have mentioned some small butchers and fishmongers that are beloved for their quality, friendliness, and selection. I made the venture out to Glen Innes try two of them, Avon’s Butchery and the Marsic Fish Shop, to see what was available prior to making my usual grocery run, where there are spring produce options popping up finally.

I really liked Avon’s. They had a great selection of fabulous looking meats - including whole turkeys! Their prices were on par or better than the grocery store (generally) and the gentleman behind the counter was extremely helpful. I was less thrilled with Marsic’s. I’d like to go back on a Tuesday when they have freshly smoked fish and try some of those options. I wasn’t terribly impressed with the quality or variety of their fresh fish, and the prices were well above the grocery store. However, I’m a sucker for a great smoked salmon, so I’ll give them another shot to try out what they’re known for.
