Unlike major cities like SYD and MEL, it's very difficult to buy wagyu in Tasmania.
I've been to countless local butchers, the 'wagyu' they sell are in very low quality (low to no marbling whatsoever) or not fresh.
After hours of research online, I finally found ONE company that offers nation-wide delivery - https://organicmeatonline.com.au/collections/wagyu but the selection is really limited.

Does anyone know where I can source those oily fatty goodness???

    Coles?

    • hovie on 04/09/2021 - 19:19

      which one????
      I've seen the Sandy Bay Woolies sells it, but I'm hoping to look for something with more marbling…At least A4 level

        Ah, not sure, I’ve just seen ‘wagyu’ in Coles aisles in melb.. thought maybe it’s a nation wide product/company.. happy hunting

          I have never seen any Coles stores in Hobart stock Wagyu beef.

    Sounds like a business opportunity for OP.

    • hovie on 04/09/2021 - 20:10

      hmmmm where should I source them…..unlike major cities like SYD and MEL….lol

        Google 'wholesale wagyu supplier' and go from there. Otherwise start your own farm.

    What are you talking about, googled ( 10secs later ) and your have your own farm in Tassie https://www.robbinsislandwagyu.com.au/

    • hovie on 04/09/2021 - 22:14

      They only do wholesale, the retailer are the butchers I mentioned above, selling low quality and meat that is not fresh. Dull dark red steak bathing in its own blood with subpar marbling, imo Robbins island is overrated.

        Yeah. Their wagyu is amazing and decently priced.

  • jatyap on 04/09/2021 - 23:19

    I used to be a butcher and I asked the same question here in Perth. I had a friend who explained to me that the Australian market was not really into very fatty marbled beef, and so a lot of breeders have modified the Australian "wagyu" to not be as marbled.

    Which is a damn shame.

    • hovie on 05/09/2021 - 08:16

      yea…I can see how the need for 'lean meat' has a play on this…shame

    • hovie on 05/09/2021 - 08:28

      Thanks mate, I'm aware of that and I've tried organic meat online.
      their wagyu is ok, but the choice is limited (only 3 cuts available) and the marbling not really that great.
      but given that is the only option, I'd still order from them

    Have you tried a place called "Tasmania Prime meats" in Goodwood- they seem to have everything.
