I ordered the whole oxtail from Meat N' Bone, as I was looking for specifically that, and the interwebs lead me to these guys. Many, many miles from where they are actually located, I placed an order on a Saturday and received it Tuesday, I believe. Wow. It was ice cold, and we got it right into the fridge. The meat itself was vacuumed sealed and stored in a really nice insulated storage bag, stamped with their logo, and kept properly cold with these really nice ice packs. The bag is reusable. Sweet. We didn't prepare the oxtail until Sunday, and when we broke the vacuum seal, it looked and smelled great. Portioned 'er up and turned it into a Jamaican oxtail stew for my fiancé's 60th birthday. The backstory and my reason for finding Meat N' Bone... the finance' (in a younger, drunken stupor) got a tattoo of his Chinese zodiac- the Ox. It ended up being a pretty relevant tattoo, in terms of the person he evolved into. This year, 2021, happens to be the Year of the Ox, which won't occur for another 12 years. This was my fun way of celebrating his special day. Meat N' Bone came through like champs and we enjoyed a Jamaican Oxtail Stew with fresh meat that melted in our mouths. Thanks, guys! We'll be back.
