Butcher / Meat Shop in North Bay

[T-Bone]

We usually bring up about 396 pounds of assorting meats for our trip from local butchers here in Ohio. This year we're thinking about foregoing the hassle of packing / dry ice / etc. and buying our meats in North Bay on Saturday morning before we "head in" to Kipawa.

Any suggestions / references / "go here-not there" for a good butcher or meat shop in North Bay? I see there are a few listed on the web, but I just wanted to see if anyone out here has a recommendation.

Thanks....

Good morning Todd:

Does part of that 396 pounds of assorted meats represent bait?

16 more days until departure day!

I've heard good things about Bavarian Meats/Bay Meats; you might also want to check out Northern Meat Packers in Trout Creek (30 mins south of NB).
Unfortunately, Gravelle's meat market is closed.

Yup...says they're are 3 or so; all phone numbers get no answer.

I've learned through both personal and professional experience to really not put a whole lot of stock in stuff you find on the internet [no kidding...really???]...especially retail / store listings as those are often created via 3rd party...not the actual business themselves.

Nothing holds more value than a trusted reference/referral in almost every case...no matter what you're talking about.

C'mon Rhybak...quit busting my chops...or I'll drive up there and confiscate all your Kipawa gear...

It wasn't meant as a chops busting question.
It was merely a question

Lots of butcher shops in Barrie and Toronto and Vaughn and Woodbridge.
