Goat Meat in Seattle Washington

Even though Seattle is full of Indians finding fresh goat meat can be a tough task. There are multiple shops that sell goat meat but most of them get it from Portland mostly on Wednesday( or twice a week) and keep it freezer and sell it throughout the week.

I thought of putting my experience and journey to find the right place not necessarily in order of the right place

1. Halal Meats bellevue: 1-2 stars

    14625 NE 24th St, Bellevue, WA 98007

    This is shop located in Overlake mall beside Anajapar restaurant. Goat meat here is hit & miss, for

     me it was always on bad side but few people found it ok. On the top of it the owner is very rude

     guy and he puts future packed date on the meat packs fooling the customers. Another worst thing

     is this guys sells meat in 15-20 dollars pack. This shop will be my last option to go I would say

    avoid or spend money on getting goat curry from Currypoint 2 go just located backside of this

    place rather wasting your money.

2. International Food Bazaar: 3 stars

    1313 156th Ave NE # 215, Bellevue, WA 98007

    Good part of this shop is they sell goat meat in 9-11 dollar packs and if you go at the right time

   you  will get good meat. Owner here is good and will entertain special requests if they can.

   This is better option as compared to other Shops listed over here, visiting on certian days

   like Wednesday, Thursday, Friday is good chances of getting fresh meat.

3. Shalimar Grocery: 3.5-4 stars

   16541 Redmond Way, Redmond, WA 98052

   This place is unique as compared to 1 and 2 as it sells Young goat meat and believe me if you get it

   when  this guy just got it , it was a good option however they increased the prices to $15 per pound. They

   dont have Young goat always better to call them and find out when they will get it, other times you

   will find the Regular goat in 11-14 dollars pack and most of the times its ok, make sure that its fresh. If you friend the

  butcher guy you can get some insider tips on meat here and figure out when you should visit this

  place.Try going there on Wednesday to Friday, any other days the meat is not going to be fresh.

4. JD'S Market: 3.5 star

    4419 200th St SW, Lynnwood, WA 98036

   This shop is ok option nothing great about it, they get goat meat usually on Wednesday, cut in

   smaller pieces and sell it in packs throughout the week. Only reason it get 3.5 in instead of buying

   the ready packs talk to butcher and get the required cut of meat in any portions starting from 1

   pound. 

5. http://www.brightideacres.com/: 4 stars

   10890 Elliott Road Snohomish, WA 98296 

   Now this is only place/farm that cuts fresh goat meat and you can get it as fresh as you 

   can get. You need go to there website check for availability or call them reserve your 

   goat and then visit the place to get the meat. This place comes with additional 

   problem you can only get Half/Full goat that means you buy at-least 20 pounds and that 

   too at expensive rates. So if you have party or group of people to pool in go for this 

   option and you will enjoy the meat.

6. New Meat store just beside Mayuri Grocery Bellevue:
    I got a chance to visit this Meat store, first impression its similar to other meat selling stores. But I 
    haven't got chance to try the goat meat here but thought of mentioning it.

If your buying from the shops and not much familiar with buying goat meat, talk to the butcher find out which day they get the meat and plan accordingly. Also best way to judge  meat freshness is that it should be in pinkish color and not like dark red, if its blood red don't buy it rather wait for fresh stock.
