Pacific Beach, San Diego

Pacific Beach has a new kind of butcher shop. Wild Fork, which sells blast-frozen meat and seafood, opened Thursday, Sept. 24, at 1701 Garnet Ave., in the 4,000-square-foot space that used to be the V-Outlet discount store.

The chain was founded in Brazil, is based in Florida and is owned by meat giant JBS. It stocks more than 600 frozen products. It isn’t the first in the county — Times of San Diego notes an Encinitas location that opened about two years ago.

The Pacific Beach store is open 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily, and a grand opening event is planned for Nov. 7 from 1 to 4 p.m.
