About Fraserview Meats
A butcher counter answers questions a supermarket cabinet cannot: which cut suits a slow braise, how thick to have the chops, whether the roast you are planning will really feed nine people. Fraserview Meats trades at 2463 Highway 97 North, sharing its address with two other businesses on the commercial corridor below the Dilworth hillside, and the name puts meat at the centre of the shop.
The practical advantages of buying meat from people who cut it are mostly about specificity. Portions come to the weight you ask for rather than the weight the tray happened to hold, bones and trim can be kept back for stock, and a request made a few days ahead will usually be met even when it is not something normally sitting in the case. Large orders for a party, a freezer or a smoker are worth arranging by phone rather than assuming, since a big cut may need to be brought in and broken down. Sausage, cured products and prepared items vary enormously from one shop to the next, so ask what is made on the premises.
Highway 97 is the valley's main road, carrying everything between the towns north of here and those to the south straight through the middle of Kelowna, which is why so much of the city's food retail has settled along it. Traffic is heaviest in summer, when through travellers and local errands collide. Dilworth above the corridor is largely residential hillside, so the shops at the bottom of the slope serve both the neighbourhood and everyone passing on the highway.
