Baltimore - Fish parts for stock
Great! I'll try both but I think Lexington market is only open during business hours. Since I can't get there very easily then, I'd welcome any additional suggestions.
Baltimore - Fish parts for stock
Anyone know where I can get fish parts (heads, frames) for fish stock. So far, I've had no luck at local places such as Wegmans, Whole Foods, or Eddies. I'm thinking maybe Lexington Market? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Full service butcher in Baltimore?
I've tried all of the above and done reasonably well but often with great effort. FWIW, I had trouble getting caul fat (for a pate) and pig skin (for a cassoulet). One time, I went to a slaugherhouse - somewhere near Fredericks. I can't remember the name but I don't think it was Hemps.
In the end, I've relied on friends who have restaurants and can get these things in bulk and then pass along whatever I need. Although this works, I'd still rather have a good butcher whom I can deal with directly.
Please keep us posted about what you learn about the Baltimore butcher scene!
Nasu Blanca
Loved it - been there a few times. Went during the week - no problem getting seated. Went on a Friday as a walk-in, they were busy but we're able to take us fairly quickly. Space is beautiful (Rita St. Claire)- more contemporary downstairs with bar and a few tables, more Asian ambience upstairs. Have had several seafood entrees and paella - all have been from good to excellent.

Does Ceiba qualify as trendy (haven't been there yet)? What's your thoughts on the food there?
Real Butchers in Baltimore
THanks a lot. If by chance you have a phone number for Trueth's or Truths - please feel free to pass it on. I tried looking it up in anywho.com but didn't find it.
Real Butchers in Baltimore
Any suggestions for really good butchers (not just "meat cutters") in Baltimore. I'm familiar with the various markets and some of the more higher end places (e.g. Ceriello's,Eddies). What I'm looking for is kind of an old fashion butcher shop.
Thanks!
