The Thoroughly Wild Meat Co.

Lambs that graze on salt marshes produce a quality meat that has a flavour, colour and texture that is like no other. These unique characteristics are created by the multitude of wild grasses and herbs that are only found in estuary salt marshes. Grasses like puccinellia, and herbs like sea lavender and marsh samphire.

Thoroughly Wild Meat are one of the UK’s leading specialists in Salt Marsh Lamb, we source from the Bridgwater Bay nature reserve on the North Somerset coast and from the the Glastraeth Marshes between Portmerion and Talsarnau in North Wales. The season starts in late June to early July – with young spring lambs – the meat has a very pale colour and an unreal tenderness. As we draw on through into high Summer and early Autumn the summer grazing adds more and more flavour to the meat and it develops a darker colour.

We were featured in the Telegraph Magazine July 2009 with some recipe ideas - Barbecued salt marsh lamb leg steaks 

Next week we are offering one of our special boxes - A whole leg of Salt Marsh Lamb - the classic roast (this can be cut in half if preferred) a Rump of Lamb - a quick roast for a mid week kitchen supper and a kilo of prime diced Salt Marsh Lamb all for £ 50 including delivery. 

The diced lamb is great for Sauté of Lamb Chasseur.doc
