I wasn't planning on starting the video with salmon, but check this out. Never in my history of

shopping

here have I seen a wild sockeye salmon for $6.99, it's usually around $9.99 or $12.99 and The crazy thing about this, look at the farm raised in our region, it's actually more expensive, look at this, it's $9, 99, so what does this mean? However, wild fees versus farm fees, we have a whole video that ended about two weeks ago, check it out, but if you're going to buy farm sets, which I totally agree with. You have to look for Norwegian salmon seeds, a product of Norway because Norway has one of the best ranching practices in the world.

You'll learn more about it in that video, but it's proper aquaculture, it's the right feed, they're not overcrowded in the vessel, they don't use antibiotics, so this is really good, but you guys, at this price, look at this, it's a product. from previously frozen wild salmon from the US, which means they can I won't freeze it again because the texture will get a little lopsided, but when I did that art video the other week a lot of people said, Hi Bobby, thanks for the information on ranching, but I'll stick with the wild caught ones, I understand. nutritional profile this is better and ideally wild caught, but sockeye salmon in general is very

meat

y and very lean, it doesn't have as much fat as farm raised, but I have a great recipe for keto salmon burgers with dairy-free tartar sauce.

I'll put that link below but again $6.99 is awesome run Forrest because if they have that price at your Costco that's great and also keep in mind some costs don't have farm raised from Norway they have it from Chile Chili. It's one of the places that has bad farming practices, so you don't want to buy it, but that deal is amazing. Hey, let's get to the chicken now if you're buying poultry and we'll talk about roast chicken. As a follow-up to our first Costco video, you want to live in this hallway. USDA Organic Chicken, is it worth the price to get organic chicken?

The answer is hell yeah, hey, what's up? Normal. Oh, Norville is amazing, you are a driver. here, yeah, he saw the book on the shelf and put my face on it and said, I'm going to get your book, yeah, you're the man, no thanks, this one is signed, right? Let's take a photo together. In a second, how cool was Norville, he's a driver, he saw us, put his face on us and bought the book, super cool, everyone here at Costco is amazing, man, this is like my second home. I love it here, so we're talking. about the chicken, right?
You want to get the organic chicken because we have videos on that, but they have a non-GMO organic food and the price is amazing when I look at one of my favorite chicken thighs here, check this out for a buck 79 for organic. ease with the chicken drum, this is normally at least $2.99 ​​elsewhere and this seal, guys, this seal makes a big difference because number one and the most important thing to me is that you are not eating a GMO food, All chickens are fed a strictly grain diet, usually GMO. Monsanto soy and corn once again, but when it's organic and I, if it can't be GMO, plus these have a very good food that is completely vegetarian, no animal byproducts, no poop, no sewage, no nothing, so which are actually very high quality chickens.
You can't find pasture raised chickens in any grocery store, this is your next best option, whole chickens here, look, a buck ninety-nine for a whole organic young chicken, you can bake this whole rooster dipped in butter, that's it fantastic now if you have a choice down here between ground turkey versus organic ground turkey. The same principle. Look, this is the regular, all-natural butterball and I know it's too expensive at $59 a pound, but I'd probably trade it for the $4.99 a pound organic ground turkey I used. buy this at Trader Joe's, but they put natural rosemary flavor in it and this price is amazing and see what it says here that is certified humane.
Sometimes turkey farming can be a very dirty business, this means the turkeys are treated right and it is very very important, just double check if the chicken here had to be certified to stay here interesting. I don't really see it. Wow, that's a little disappointing because I usually buy organic chicken at Whole Foods sometimes. There is a great brand called Pine Manor and it is certified humane, but this one is not. I don't have it so it's still the best thing you can do at Costco but I would love to see that human certificate because it really makes a difference so one you don't have it but let's talk about one of the most popular items.
Here's the roast chicken, right? Listen, we talked about this in our first Costco video. I know he's a loss leader. I know they have their own chicken plant now and everything. This is not an organic bird, so it has genetically modified food and more. If we look at the ingredients here, we see that there are some phosphates, which is something you really don't want to see. There is some modified food starch here. There is carrageenan, so it's not ideal in terms of seasoning, but many of our ingredients are. story Poultry, even the organic ones at Whole Foods, tend to have some fillers that I don't like, but it's not an organic chicken, so it has a GMO feed and it's not certified humane, so I know people will find it love it because the price is great but I wouldn't eat that because of what I just said but people take it no matter what it has a cult following.
I just want you to know what's up with that, that's something I love passionately is that lamb, here you guys, this. It's all Australian, 100 percent grass-fed lamb and this is something we renew on Flav City's Instagram stories all the time. This is lamb chop. Check out this price: $13.99 a pound. I've seen double that price at some markets and although it doesn't say it, it's one hundred percent grass-fed rack of lamb, it's one hundred percent lamb loin chops. These are fantastic because you have a small filet here and the small filet there and the bone adds a ton of flavor. and it's $6.99 a pound, are you crazy? and then a boneless leg of lamb here for $5.99 a pound isn't my favorite cut, but it's good for casseroles, braises and things like that.
The thing is, I went to Australia in the spring of this year with the Australian. Meat and Livestock Association and I saw them package the lamb at the processing plant with the Costco box and even though it doesn't say grass-fed, it is one hundred percent grass-fed, the price is incredible and here's the fun part about this lamb. Actually better than the lamb they have in Australia because it is wet aged while traveling overseas. It's like an unintended consequence of shipping. They cryovate it in plastic like you would a steak and the juices marinate and make it more tender as you break it down. some of the enzymes and at wet ages you get a superior product, it's actually cheaper than Australia and it's phenomenal if you're intimidated by cooking on a rack, cut them into individual pieces, cook them in a hot cast iron skillet.
I do it. Play City Instagram is fantastic all the time and this is an underrated grass fed offering of the century. Here it's time to talk about something really interesting that the arts noticed a few months ago and it has to do with prime fillets and sticks. The nice thing about buying

meat

here at Costco is that they have USDA prime beef, which is prime beef, it means it has a ton more marbling, marbling is fat, fat is flavor, but you don't really notice anything interesting, this is a New York strip bar and see this word right here, the blade tenderizes this here is a USDA Prime beef ribeye steak and art noted that the blade tenderizes and this right here is the ribeye cap actually my favorite cut and that's what I thought when I found out this was right and once again, it's a blade softener, so what does that mean?
If you look in that room over there, they have a machine called a jacquard, it's a bunch of metal needles that tenderize the meat nicely, that's fine with a tough cut of meat like a skirt steak or maybe even a flank steak, but a prime cut of New York strip steak or a ribeye is crazy because they are already tender, beautiful pieces of meat and the problem that you don't notice when you play tenderizer is that the blade actually introduces bacteria into the meat , so if you notice here, it says that for your safety, the USDA recommends roasting the product to a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees.
If you're buying a prime steak, okay, you want to cook it to 160 no, no, 160 is well done, so they're actually doing you a disservice because you have to cook it too well done to possibly eliminate the risk of bacteria when you don't even need to do it at all, so it's a totally mysterious art and I don't know why you do it, we come here for here are the favorite meats and I have no problem with the blade tenderizing the right meat for me because I'm going to braise that - well done, no problem. I really don't have a problem with them, holy cow, oh no They don't think they soften, what else are they playing soften up here?
I have no problem with them tenderizing a roast with a blade because they are going to cook it, but it is the craziest thing ever and I realized that I am almost crazy. I wish I had room in the refrigerator, look at that, a prime brisket for 349 a pound, this would be amazing, my next house, when in every room I'm going to cook that other thing with beef that I can't get here, they don't season me previously. or marinated skirt steak like this one, so it's a good deal between 8 and 99, but always be careful with pre-season meats unless we look at the actual seasoning here and check with our heads that they have molted extra made from GMO corn sodium phosphates phosphates are something you normally see in low quality deli meats and too many phosphates in your body can lead to bad news and then look at this sugar, another filler, so it's not something I wouldn't do, but if you come down here to the ground beef, then it gets interesting because If you can choose between conventional ground beef like this, which is incredibly cheap priced here at 399, or the organic ground beef, which one do you choose?
Choose the Organic option around me one hundred percent of the time because this cattle actually has a non-GMO feed, the thing is this is not grass-fed beef, so you have grass-fed beef in the section of the freezer. I'll show you in a minute, a lot of people get confused between organic and non-GMO, the really simple answer is if it's organic then by law it can't be GMO, it's one hundred percent non-GMO, if something is non-GMO you don't do it. does organic, so being organic not only is it a non-GMO food, the USDA says that these cows also have to be pasture-raised and grass-fed for at least four months of the year, which is really good and, which More importantly, the feed is non-GMO, although it is more expensive, true, it's $4.99 a pound, but that's just a dollar more per pound, guys, it's not grass. -Fed, which I would prefer, but compared to regular feed, I would get organic 100 percent of the time and then down here is ground bison, but you have to be careful because normally ground bison is 100% grass. -fed and I love it because the omega-3s are high, the CLA is and the conjugated linoleic acids are high, but this one is actually green fed, it says it on the website if you read it, so I wouldn't understand this because it is they are feeding.
GMO grain corn and soybeans, this is not the kind of bison I would like to have, but I want to show you those burgers and grips in the freezer aisle because it's the best deal, where are those burgers and grips that you used? to be here, oh no, they replaced them with ground sirloin burgers, you know, grass-fed burgers must have been a seasonal item, which is horrible because they were the best price. We made a video about them this summer. It cost 384 pounds. which is the lowest price I have ever seen in my life, now they replaced them with ground sirloin GMO beef burgers and if you don't want sirloin look above they have a ground piece oh come on Cosby we don't need two different ones. transgenic beef mixes fed with normal corn, we needthose grass-fed burgers, you know, as soon as I get to the front and review, I'll put that suggestion in the box because it was the best deal, so it's a bummer if you get it in your Costco scoop.
I've never seen fresh, non-frozen, grass-fed beef, so if you have that at Costco, let me know, but don't be fooled if you come here, you might say, well, no, we, this. it's the grass fed burgers here and they're always here and my friends, yes it says grass fed here but don't be fooled we know it's better if it doesn't say one hundred percent grass fed or grass fed. and grass finished, that means it's grain finished, right? They do this so that the cattle are slaughtered faster and it is cheaper. It takes more time and more money to make 100 percent grass-fed beef when feeding grain to cattle at the end of their lives. rushing or rushing the slaughter process, you actually reverse a lot of the benefits of spending grass in the first place, so these are not 100% grass-fed, I wouldn't buy them, man, I'm very disappointed in those burgers, let's finish the video with a little more

seafood

, well this is really interesting, back to the salmon, in fact, they also have farm-raised salmon in Chile here.
So side by side, look at this, they have the Norwegian, but it's good, and they have the Chilean, so they always get the Norway. Chile does not have the best aquaculture or the best farm-raised salmon. It refers to this: are there really seven nines? Oh, interesting, look at the best, most expensive, good capture, good capture art. Wow, that's so much better, just call me guys, I called you tilapia, we don't understand because farm racing practices are actually very difficult and the nutritional profile is not the best for that. This is great, watch this at any time, you can see wild fish like perch.
I would buy them all day id3. Some have wild-caught walleye fillet. These are great. The catfish here is not a big fan of catfish, it's a farm raised US product, but it's not my favorite, it's a bottom feeding tuna, wait, we talk about this ahi tuna like it's a high mercury fish, so I just wouldn't eat it from a health perspective. These large sub15 farm shrimp mean there are 15 per pound on our farm. raised in Thailand Southeast Asia doesn't have good farming practices but the lobsters are wild caught so I would get them all day every day from Canada it's a very good deal and the king crab legs are always caught in the wild, you can get them is not a problem and If you come here on the weekend to see the

seafood

tour, the scallops are good too, but again, those big shrimp are raised on Indonesian or Vietnamese farms, you don't want them , and the king crab legs and mussels are fantastic, so I think it's nice.
From here we cover all sections here from seafood to beef to chicken to two pigs so we don't talk about pork because I don't buy pork here because it's not non-GMO food it's kind of like that farm pig industrial. that's not very good, that's not grass raised, that's not good for the environment and that's it guys, if you want more Costco content, let us know, leave a comment below us, like subscribe, share and head to the book section to pick up. keto meal prep is just a look, it's just a select 15 Costco, so I'll put the list below right now in the description box.
