Bemidji Downtown Meats — Attraction in Bemidji

I'm from out of town but frequent Bemidji fairly often. I was on the hunt for some smoked Salmon and thought I'd pop in to see if they maybe had it. They did. I was a little turned off because it was $20/pound and it was seasoned with lemon pepper... but whatever. The guy serving us immediately started saying how theirs is "award winning" and is better than Morey's in Baxter and that Morey's fish is always dry (never experiencedsuch a thing unless I bought the nuggets that are made to be that). I bought a pound. When I got back to the cabin, I couldn't believe it.I had never experienced "dry" smoked Salmon but the stuff I bought literally was so dry it wouldn't even flake apart. I was very disappointed.

I know the owners of Morey's in Baxter and theirs is definitely a little salty, but never dry. It's also a bit cheaper. I generally grab a couple pounds when heading North.

My favorite place for smoked Salmon is Louie's in Cumberland, WI and we buy there twice a month....for $14/pound. No need for added flavors either because it's smoked Salmon.

We also tried the beef sticks. I loved the casings and flavor, but the filling was ground to a paste like texture and was a little odd.

Well probably try other things and maybe it was just a fluke but trash talking competition and hyping up their inferior product that was indeed...

I picked up a #2 meat bundle yesterday for my daughter’s birthday party. It only had two packs of hot dogs even though the website lists four. We did not have enough. When I called to ask for two more, they told me they downsized their meat bundles due to inflation. I told them they did not update their website and they still did not offer to rectify the situation. To make matters worse, the man on the phone used a very sarcastically sweet voice to speak with me. We will not be going back. The other meat markets in town are very nice and seem to care more about...

I'd put no stars cuz who gives out old steaks. Oh yea down town Meats but you gotta pay a day ahead of time so they can see which old steaks they can give you. I bought a BBQ bundle ND my hubby all excited he unthaws couple just for them to be all Grey.. she tried to give me a Grey one I looked at it ND said this doesn't even look good, she says "OH ITS THE SEASONING." I said well can I get one without seasoning.. ANYWAY no more bundles from there. Guess STITZ WORTH...
