Anyone know where I can buy pork belly with the skin on in Zurich?

So far I've tried a couple of Coops and Migros, and Kauffman at the HB, but the closest i've got is schweinsbrust without the skin at the coop in stadelhofen...

Metzgerei Angst AG
Herdernstrasse 61 8040 Zurich

My favorite butcher in Zurich. Fresh and much cheaper than the super market. Miss them.

I twice bought it in the Gründeli area in Basel, Migros or Coop I can't remember.

(Need to double-check with a friend exactly where she got it in Zurich. Will get back to you.)

Thanks for the suggestions guys, i'll check them out

gnartyuh, that butchers looks immense and it's pretty close to me...i'll be there first thing on Monday morning

The pork from this butcher is excellent

Migros Glattbrugg, one friend says.

Thanks for that Argus, very kind of you to ask your friend for me :-). I'm gonna try the butcher gnartyuh recommended, and if i've no luck there then i guess i'll be on the train to Glattbrugg :-)

I buy mine in Kaufland in Waldshutt (Germany) which is convenient to the railway station. It make delicious crackling.

Probably will take you an hour by train from Zurich HB (change at Türgi on the S12 from Zurich). Perhaps Jetstetten is closer for you?

Most pork belly in the supermarkets seem to be trimmed due to the inclusive cost (I think).

Let us know what you do with your purchase.

Mine became this (Chinese roast pork, or Siu Yoke in Cantonese):

My local Manora food supermarket does it.

Thanks for all the replies guys, i'll let you know how I get on :-)

Not sure if i'll manage something as delicious looking as argus, but i'll give it my best shot!

Lia Hua in Wiedikon also tends to have it.

Paid a visit to Metzgerei Angst during the week and got the pork belly i was after, along with some back fat for making sausages, and a rehrücken just for fun.

It really is a great butchers, and prices are very low for Zürich - similar to a couple of the cash & carrys i've been to around the city. So, thanks again for the tip :-)

i get my bellypork at the 3M fantastic for roasting

You need to ask for "Schweinsbauch mit Schwarte" = "Pork belly with rind"

That's what I was looking for! Cheers Sbrinz.

Most of the butchers will get pork with skin on it. You just have
to order it as Sbrinz says, usually a day in advance.

I'd get nervous and mixed up and say, "Schweinsbauch mit Rind" and the butcher will probably kick me out of his shop.

HAHA funny Argus.

I used to say "Schwein !" and point to my belly a couple of times with my eye brows raised and then say "mit haut bitte!"

Thanks to Sbrinz, I can now order it properly!

Just went to Carmelo's today for some pork for Christmas dinner. Turns out that they also refer to pork belly as "Schweisnbrüstli mit Schwarte". Technically this translates as breast of pork but it's the same cut. Hope that helps anyone in the future!
