The Meat Market

The Meat Market, the freshest quality meat in the Central Valley, has been a local, family-owned business since 1976. We began as a small meat distribution service in the Fresno area, serving local residents and restaurants. Today we are a multi-location retail meat market and specialty store that specializes in quality, custom-cut meats, homemade sausage, local wines, and our famous Tri Tip!

Asian grocery stores and supermarkets stock ingredients, snacks and household goods that general American supermarkets often do not carry, organized by category rather than by country of origin in most stores. Produce and live or fresh seafood sections are usually at the back or side of the store, and weekend mornings bring the largest crowds and freshest restock. Many larger Asian supermarkets include a hot deli or food court counter selling prepared meals by the pound or as fixed plates, useful for a quick lunch while shopping. Labels are frequently bilingual or untranslated, so store staff can usually help locate a specific ingredient if you ask. Cash, cards and mobile pay are all commonly accepted at larger chains; smaller specialty shops may be cash-preferred.

The business lists hours on 6 days of the week. The most common schedule is 9 am–6 pm. Note that it does not open on Sunday.
