B & E Meats & Seafood

At first I was kinda hating. Basic meats are kinda overpriced. But it's a butcher. Right? We are getting excellent cuts and payin for it apparently. I'm a chef and I openly say this place is overpriced $1.50-$1 per pound, if not more in some cases but....Four stars for being on point, having knowledgeable people who work here. Always having rabbit. Always have bones for stalk. And will give me what other places can't. Most recently I got a pork crown roast. I couldn't find one anywhere and their guys filled the order like it was Tuesday. Soooo will I come here everyday, no. But when I need the good good. This place is my go to.

what would a vegetarian do here, you ask? buy smoked salmon for a chowder since it IS fall now.before today i didn't ever think about going in here although i drive by it all the time. but some carnivore friends mentioned how good the smoked and candied salmon so this was my motivation. the service was excellent for what i was buying,considering i asked some questions about the "shelf life" of the candied salmon as opposed y the alder smoked pieces. i ended up optingto wait on that purchase but came away with $17 worth of smoked salmon which is getting put to use today.i'd go back for more and just seeing the selection, it made me think even a gift card from there would be fun to present to peoplewho grill or like their cuts of meat a certain way. it was a worthwhile discovery.

I'm not sure what happened to this place. They used to sell high quality meat, then it went downhill. Did their management change recently? We had 3 incidents since last summer. Last summer, we got 2 racks of pork ribs. They weren't cheap... we paid over $50 for 2 racks. When we opened the package, it smelled awful like it had gone bad. We took it back and the staff was nice enough to refund the money--thank you. We thought they just had a bad day. Ok. I have a bad day too so we let that one go.Then a couple of months later I got 2 ribeye steaks. The quality wasn't good, and they weren't cheap either. It was chewy and excessively fatty. We didn't return it because we cooked them already, although a half of them went into trash. We started to become really skeptical of B&E's quality.Then today, we bought their stuffed salmon. Driving home, we started to smell rotten fish in the car. We immediately turned around and got a refund. The shop staff was really nice about it (thank you) but this was strike #3 in less than a year. I think we had enough. I really hope the management will do something about rotten meat and fish being sold.

I stopped in here to try their smoked wings and pork ribs. The store is large with a great display of fresh looking meat and seafood. I was immediately greeted by a person behind the counter, placed my order and browsed the place a little bit. They have quite a bit of prepared meats and seafood items, which is great when you just want to pick up, heat and eat.The store is clean, the people are friendly, and the smoked items were amazing! I will definitely be returning to try more items!

I heard about this from a friend from Hawaii. Finally was able to pop in a couple times and found excellent quality and array of meats and different cuts, some premarinated meat and everything was clean, service was good and distancing was in place. Tried the kalbi chicken which had great flavor though the texture was a little more firm than I was expecting, and the pork ribs were delicious too! Fun to find some local butchers in the area!

I asked my friend to take me here. Prices are high but smoked salmon called Candy Salmon is so good!Smoked salmon is so tender and good taste. I ordered half pound of candy smoked salmon and before asked a guy to get a sample. Absolutely yummy.$26/lb so ordered half LB for $13. Good amount.I wanna try some bacon next time...look so good

Came here because of their famous Candy Smoked Salmon($28/lb). Everyone raves about it; It might not be as spectacular as everyone makes it out to be, but it is definitely very good, unique and something you won't find elsewhere. The name kind of threw me off because it says candy smoked. I was expecting something much sweeter but the smoked salmon flavor still comes thru and has just the right amount of sweetness to it but not overpowering.Service here is excellent too, they ask you if you're going to take it to travel and vacuum seal it for you if you are.They also have some really great jerky ($20/lb), they let us sample a few different flavors. We ended up getting about a pound of their "Thick and Tender" jerky which was as described, thicker cut and moist and tender. I especially liked the texture of it because it was not as hard and dried out.Besides the salmon and jerky, they are a high end butcher shop, so the meats will be higher priced than the local grocery store, but you get higher quality meats I'm sure. Im sure they have a select local clientele. For visitors, i highly suggest trying the candy smoked salmon, yes it's pricy but I'm just not sure where else you'd find something like this.

Great selection, quality and service. Can't ask for much more! We live decently close to B&E and have started buying most of our meat from here.

Wow. If you are looking for smoked or cured fish as a souvenir from Seattle, you better put down that kitschy boxed stuff and come here! The fish here tastes and smells like the high quality, flavorful, well-made stuff it is. The fish looks beautiful too. They let us try the regular smoked salmon, the garlic, and the candied. All superb. Be warned the candied stuff - heck, all of them are addicting.The cost may seem high, but it is completely justified. You aren't getting bottom of the barrel keta (translated from native tongue to "dog") fish or "pink" salmon (only 1 tier up), you're getting fresh fish. There was no hint of gross "fishy" smell before or after eating. (To make your salmon last longer, may I suggest enjoying your salmon with rice and veggies, or in a sandwich?)They also sell high quality pork, beef, chicken, and other things in the freezer like sausage, duck, cheese. They also have pretty nicely priced wines for sale, from low $10s and up. Whites, reds, and bubblies.Highly recommend you make the side-tour to this joint for salmon. A fish dressed to impress that will win you praises.

Delicious and fresh with great customer service always satisfied with everything I have purchased
