Wild Fork is a hidden gem. Wide selection of frozen high quality frozen meat and other products . Yesterday was a planned stop after a day of recreational retail therapy . I arrived with a list and was a bit overwhelmed trying to locate the products . The store is well organized but I was tired. Special shout out to Doug who helped me locate everything on the list . He and Mardy mane a good team . They were helpful, kind and had great customer service skills !
Went in to see what kind of meats they're selling and I'm impressed. Huge variety of quality meats plus some frozen side dishes and veggies. I was looking for kurobuta ham. They didn't have it but they do carry Berkshire ham which I was told was similar. Spoke to owner and he was very knowledgeable with products sold in store. Friendly staff. Very clean and organized. I highly recommend checking them out.
I've purchased various meats, seafood, and other items from here. I don't have time to go into the store, so I usually order online for pick or delivery. Pretty simple. I don't take pics of everything as I forget to at times or don't feel like it. lol Here are some photos of what you can expect. They offer a variety of specialty meats. Everything I have purchased are frozen and the quality and taste hasn't been compromised. There are some frozen veggie items I would not get again-- like their rainbow cauliflower, frozen peaches, and pigs in a blanket. However, their frozen garlic potatoes halves are delicious! I bought 4 bags for a dinner party and everyone said they enjoyed it and kept asking me if I made it. LOL I told them Wild Fork! Their apple pie was scrumptious and their spiral ham was a hit this past Thanksgiving. The store is clean and organized. Easy to find things and stroll along. The staff are always pleasant and very helpful. I appreciate their tips on how to cook certain things as well. Definitely has been my go to. Some family decided to shop for their meats here as well after they saw my Thanksgiving spread mostly from Wild Fork. LOL
This has been my go to location to stock up on meats for my household. I have never been to this location so decided to make a stop. The store is pretty big and has a great selections of meats to choose from. My favorites include the ground beef, chicken strips, and some of the steaks. Some items can be on the pricier side but the quality is phenomenal. Staff is there to recommend their favorites and to let you know what the deals are. Stores are always clean and easy to navigate throughout. Great place to shop and to find some good stuff to cook up.
It was my first time ever coming to a wild fork and it definitely won't be my last! Just make sure to plan out your meal accordingly because everything is frozen so you'd need time to thaw out your meat. Other than that, the selection of everything is AMAZING! It was awesome being able to see so many different meat and seafood options where we can cook at home to save money. I spent $12 on bone marrow that just roasted at home for with some bread and arugula. I got a 2lb tomahawk for $60 roughly and it was absolutely delicious feeding two of us. WAY better than going to a steak house and paying double or triple amount of the price. (although I need a meat thermometer because I wanted it more medium but that's my own fault ) Service was wonderful. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. It had a supermarket like Ambiance with everything being clean and organized. I'd definitely be down to come try the sausages and game meat next time!
I frequent their Manhattan Beach location. I was around the area so decided to visit! As expected, the place was clean and well organized. Staff was also very helpful and helped give advice on how to cook the meats. I generally got very positive and friendly vibes. Keep up the good work! Parking was ample, but I came 1-2 hours before closing time. I would highly recommend, especially if you want the freshest meat!
But it's all frozen! Yes, all the meat at Wild Fork is frozen, but the quality of the freeze is very good, as they use a proprietary "blast freeze" process that takes the meat quickly down to -30 degrees Celsius. This strongly reduces the freezer burn effects that you see on traditionally frozen meats. Now the good news: Wild Fork actually stocks all the odd cuts that a real cook might require: short rib and chuck and porterhouse and skirt steak and any other odd sort of cut. Unlike your neighborhood grocery, they also sell USDA prime cuts, which are a little harder to come by nowadays, because the hotels tend to snap them up. I ground Wild Fork chuck with some short rib. The result was exceptionally high-quality burger, perfectly fine to eat raw by my "really really rare" girlfriend. Given that the cuts are such high quality, AND given that the cuts are reasonably priced, this is now my go-to meat supplier in the OC. Wild Fork wins!
Service is great and salespeople are friendly, greets you even if they are stocking up, approaching you if you have questions... Ambiance is fresh smell of air, clean and very organized plus well lit, also the food that they sell may it be meat, poultry, or seafood they have organic food and frozen veggies. We bought organic chicken, Cod and Salmon and come veggies and wow I was hoping our grocery would be $100 plus but its was only $80 great deal!
If you are looking for a quality meat market without large crowds, that has a large open feel. and has all of your favorites as well as some exotic options, then Wild Fork may just be the store for you. We discovered Wild Fork several years ago online when looking for quality meats. We had ordered from other meat services as well but Wild Fork stuck with me for their wide assortment of options form the standard chicken, beef, pork and fish options to their more exotic meats such as alligator, elk, quail, wild boar, duck, yak, foie gras, emu and so much more. All of their meats come flash frozen, and the prices are quite good to match. The meats are very flavorful. Of the highest quality, and they have a good assortment of frozen veggies and accompaniments to go along with the proteins. Please note that they do not sell produce, breads, or condiments here but do offer a large array of seasonings and spices. I love their salt/pepper blend in the shaker as this makes cooking a cinch. They have good quality chicken breasts and steak options as well as select frozen meals such as pizzas, empanadas, pastas and desserts (the desserts are not my favorite and we found them a bit lacking in flavor). This is definitely my go-to market for meats now that they have opened up several locations across Southern California. This allows me to get the same quality I love without buying online and having to pay shipping. I absolutely love this store and recommend it to any meat connoisseurs out there looking for a quick and affordable option without having to go to a butcher. Check them out and let us know what you think, I know I will return again soon.
