Meat

At Sunset’s Meat Department, our mission is to provide fresh, quality food not found in other grocery stores. Our butchers, who are not just skilled but passionate about their work, take pride in the freshness and quality of their products. All our locations feature a full-service meat department with expert meat cutters available to answer your questions about selection, seasonal specials, and cooking preparation. We can also help you with a custom order or special request and direct you toward cuts and unique selections you may not have otherwise known about.

FRESHNESS IS MEASURED IN HOURS, not days at the Sunset meat counter. We go to great lengths to carry a unique selection of cuts that simply cannot be found in other meat departments. Our products are perfect when you’re looking to create a special meal to impress or simply looking for great tasting Food.

Vendor Partners & Product Lines

Certified Angus Beef

We are proud to offer Certified Angus Beef, a mark of exceptional quality. Only the best of the USDA Choice and Prime grades are considered for the Certified Angus label. This grade ensures each piece of beef is incredibly flavorful, tender, and juicy due to the high amounts of marbling per cut. When you choose Certified Angus Beef from Sunset’s Meat Department, you’re choosing the best.

Vendor 2

All of our Ground Beef is prepared daily. We use our trimmings and whole-muscle meats to make a far superior grind than you find elsewhere. We also have fresh ground Wagyu, Bison, Lamb, and Pork.

Our mouthwatering pork results from a carefully managed pork program that local Midwest family farms perfected.

Miller Poultry

Our poultry is raised locally on Amish Farms in Indiana. All of our poultry is ABF and Air Chilled. We purchase directly from the farm, ensuring a longer shelf-life on products that taste better and stay fresh longer.

Slagel Family Farm

Need a Fresh Turkey? We are currently partnered with Slagel Family Farm, a family-owned farm that has specialized in turkeys for 3 generations. These free-range turkeys are all-natural, vegetarian-fed, raised with no antibiotics, hormones, or animal proteins, and are never injected with saline solution.

Seafood

Our full-service seafood department offers an unparalleled selection of traditional favorites, as well as more unique, harder-to-find delicacies, ensuring there’s something for every seafood lover.

All our fish are hand-filled in-store for the ultimate freshness. Our department is built around sustainable varieties, and we always offer hook-and-line caught fish whenever available because of its freshness and low impact on the environment. 

Our highly skilled fishmongers are always available for prepping, cooking, or recipe ideas.

Special Seafood Seasons

As Memorial Day approaches, Sunset Foods waits for word on the opening day of Copper River Salmon season. Always the first to market with what many consider the world’s finest Salmon. Born Free. Caught Wild. Naturally Delicious.

Soft shelled Crab season starts in spring when the season begins along the Gulf Coast, and runs through the summer. Sunset regulars know to be on the lookout for this iconic, delicious and timeless summer treat. Soft shell crab also has a universal appeal and versatile flavor profile, making it suitable for diverse audiences and cooking methods. Plus our attentive fish mongers will clean them for you!

Labor Day means Lobster (at least at Sunset Foods it does). Join the tradition of fresh Maine Lobster for your Labor Day party and you’ll have an event to remember.

As winter settles in, we take comfort in knowing that Crabmania has arrived. Whether you prefer King Crab Legs, Alaskan Opilio Crab Clusters, or Stone Crab Claws we have all the specialties you are looking for.

For show stopping entertaining, our Seafood department offers several excellent caviars for your enjoyment. To help you decide, we host our annual Champagne and Caviar event in December where we offer tastes of our caviars paired with our favorite bubbles.

Shrimp trays are always in season. Freshly made to order to fit any size occasion, our shrimp trays feature freshly steamed, wild caught shrimp. They are garnished with leaf lettaze and served with Sunset’s own cocktail sauce and fresh lemon.

Bakery
