He offer one of the largest assortments of meat and seafood anywhere. They carry more than 200. 150 cuts of pork, 130 types of seafood, and 100 poultry options — plus adventurous proteins like bison, venison, and even frog legs. Most people think buying fresh at the grocery store means it’s fresh, but that meat has already been defrosted once before. At Wild Fork, you’re the first person to defrost it. Because we blast-freeze everything at -40° right after cutting, the nutrients and flavor are locked in, and the meat blooms with freshness when you thaw it — usually in under 30 minutes. You can visit any of our 11 California stores, or download the Wild Fork app for same-day or next-day delivery. New customers get 3 months of free delivery, and unlimited delivery after that is just $29 a year.
