Are you serious? Selling flank steak and calling it skirt?
It's a common scam to rename various cuts of meat and increase their value. Apparently you lot are right into it? What else are you being creative with? Pictures included.
Any butcher nose skirt steak (diaphragm muscle) always has a strong line of connective tissue running along the center. 🤔 Consumer trading act complaint incoming........

Great place to grab quality meat at good prices. Mad Butcher at Madmarket always has a solid range and the value is hard to beat. The team are friendly and helpful, and the service is always quick and easy.
Perfect spot to stock up whether you’re grabbing something for dinner or doing a bigger shop for the freezer. Always had a good experience here.

I really wanted to like Mad Butcher (Madmarket), but unfortunately my experience was pretty underwhelming.
While the prices can look appealing at first, the overall quality and consistency didn’t quite live up to expectations. Some of the products I picked up weren’t as fresh as I’d hoped, and it made me feel a bit unsure about coming back for regular shopping.
The store itself felt a little messy and rushed, and it was hard at times to get help when I needed it. Customer service wasn’t bad, but it also wasn’t particularly welcoming or engaging either – it just felt very “in and out”.
I’m giving two stars because it does have budget-friendly options and it might suit people who are just looking for the cheapest prices. However, for me, quality and confidence in what I’m buying matter, and this visit didn’t really deliver on that.

Ordered online from Ferry Rd - LOVE the meat pack options, friendly delivery and when the meat arrive it was quality meat also came with a free helpful meal planner/recipes & bonus lollies =) Thank You!!
Wish the Optional Seasonal Pack was made more pronounced on the website, it was too small/hidden to know about it as a 1st timer, looks like a great additional option to complete the meals from the meal planner recipes and its definitely cheaper than the supermarket.
Very Happy Returning Customer!!

The staff are friendly enough and the meat is affordable but you get what you pay for. Quality is not the greatest. Had a few different meats that had a funny smell. Also some non meat products are darer than the supermarket.
