Meat and Seafood

Flaky, perfectly seasoned salmon steak with fresh green beans and roasted potatoes… A steaming bowl of Bouillabaisse loaded with seafood and seasoned with garlic, fennel, and saffron… Velvety steaks marinated in soy and ginger, and served straight off the grill… A superb burger, finished with a flourish of crumbled blue cheese… Golden brown roasted chicken, hot from the oven… Does meat and seafood like this sound too good to be true? Not when you shop The Coop’s Meat and Seafood Department!

At The Coop, we take pride in supporting local farmers, so we are proud to bring you locally grown and raised poultry, beef, lamb, pork, veal and game birds that are raised without growth hormones, antibiotics or medicated feed. In addition, most of our meats come from free range or grass-fed sources.

Fresh fish deliveries arrive on Tuesdays and Fridays. Besides offering high-quality fresh fish choices, our Seafood Buying Policies address environmental concerns by avoiding overfished species and seafood from endangered ecosystems. The informational signs in the seafood section of our Meat and Seafood Department include FishWise color indicators that inform our shoppers about sustainability issues related to fish consumption, and our Seafood Buying Guide offers additional information and preparation suggestions.
