There's a new shop in Huntington that is home to fresh meat and seafood, gourmet food items and perfect gifts for just about anyone.
The Butcher Shop, located next to Christopher's Eats, is a small space with this really lovely wooden exterior that has carvings of a cow, pig and chicken.
Inside, you'll find all sorts of goodies. There are charcuterie essentials like cheese knives and markers.
There are also some West Virginia glasses and a wide selection of pasta.
There is cheese, crackers and make-your-own-cocktail kits.
Condiments like jams and jellies and pickled vegetables are available.
And, there are sweets too - caramels, marshmallows, truffles.
There are two small coolers - one with beef and another with seafood.
I'm unclear if they butcher in the traditional sense - if they break down cuts of meat or if people can have them do so - it seemed like the items they had were packaged from different companies.
But the one thing I saw that didn't have another company's label on it was the crab cakes, so I was sure to get a package of those.
And, I also got some "cheese straws," some caramels, some marshmallows, a candy bar, a giant peanut butter cup, pimento cheese popcorn, truffle crackers and butter toffee peanuts.
If I had to describe this shop to someone, I would say they that they carry a lot of regional speciality foods (not many local ones) that could make up the ultimate charcuterie board.
So far, everything I've tasted has been so good. After a quick fry, the crab cakes had a lovely golden brown crust and lots of shredded crab.
The pimento popcorn, which is from Asheville, N.C., was like a cheddar popcorn with a little spice. A nice, fun little twist.
