About Frozen halal lamb foreshank
The full frozen halal lamb range, from the working cuts to the portion cuts: foreshank and shoulder for braising, boneless and netted leg for roasting and slicing, chops and frenched rack for the plate, and a gyro cone. The price ladder inside lamb is steeper than inside beef, because the rack and the loin are a small share of the carcass and everything else has to be sold around them.
Buying notes
Everything except the gyro cone is quoted per pound on an average case weight, and the netted leg is priced level with the plain boneless leg here, so the netting reads as a handling convenience rather than a premium. A frenched rack is bought to a size specification, and that specification is what separates two racks that otherwise look identical on paper.
