Some of the tools of the trade that make Meat Adventures happen are Google and a GPS machine. It is always nice to find a local treasure. Fritz's Quality Meats is a local find. Concord California is only a 30 minute drive from our abode. Fritz's is a tiny meat market that stocks some high quality meats.
When you walk through the door you will be greeted with a display case full of meat and fish. On the counter some home made spice rub is for sale. The owner Rocky will cut and wrap any cut of meat you desire. Rocky is very friendly and helpful. He does make a house breakfast sausage. Prime Smoke Meats smoked pork chops and bacon are carried here. This small shop has been in existence for a long time. One throw back to the past is the metal rail that snakes along the ceiling. This was used to hang and slide sides of beef from a truck to the walk-in refrigerator.
Fritz's is a link to the past. The corner butcher has been lost to the Mega-Wally-Marts. It is refreshing to see and support business's like Fritz's. We picked up a Flank steak and some of Rockys home made horseradich sauce. They both were delicious. I am looking forward to the next Meat Adventure.

Wish Fritz would open a location in Highlands Ranch. I used to have a store somewhat like this close to my old house in West Denver. I wonder if it's still in business. Loved that store.
Looks great, I need to find a place like this in nj
I went back to Baron's the other day and scored big! Now, I need to get out to Concord!
highlandsranchfoodie, How about checking into it. I would love to hear about Meat markets in Co.
Rene, I bet you have some old meat markets with a lot of character. You just need to find them.
Zoomie, You are a convert. I think you need to graduate and go to Buds, Fritzs or Dittmers. They are all less than an hour away from you.
A real old school butcher? It must be a dream.
Yeah, we could use a Fritz here too. The two real butchers left here don't hold a candle to that operation.
