What are
Canadian Game Meats?
Canadian Game Meats are what we call species that have existed in North America for at least a century. They are now natural to our environment. With a more refined diet and feeding regimen, our producers are now able to ensure a more consistent eating quality and flavour. Our animals retain the original qualities of their meat and are a highlight of any food service menu that wants to discern itself from its competition. Game Meats have a story to tell and they add to the story of any restaurant that is bold enough to offer something interesting.
Today’s foodie culture thrives on new and innovative cuts and cooking processes that have yet to be discovered. Game Meats are becoming the adventurous dining experience that global food lovers have been looking for and the secret weapon of top chefs. The informed public wants to eat healthy foods. Game Meats are packed with nutrients and are high in protein and iron while being low in fat, cholesterol, and calories. This is “nature’s original meat” and we want to bring it to you as it always has been.
Canadian Game Meats make it easy to find something unique and Canadian to feature on your menus!
BISON
Customers and culinary professionals alike appreciate our naturally grass fed and grain finished bison insuring that there is no “gamey” or wild taste. Sustainability and social license are important to a global public. Consistency in your portions are critical in foodservice. Our bison are fully graded through a government controlled system and the meat cut to rigid specifications.
ELK
Amongst hunters, Elk is considered to be the best heirloom meat. This is a very lean bright red meat and is prepared similarly to beef, but has distinctive enough flavour from beef that you know you are eating something special. It also contains more iron and protein than any other meat. Our Elk is raised on farmers so they don’t feed on conifers as in nature, one of the reasons we can reduce that gamey flavour.

VENISON
Venison is often misrepresented as Elk, but it is in fact Deer, and is rare to find for culinary menus for the most part. It often has slightly more gamey flavour to Elk and has a little more fat. Venison has 50% less fat than beef while having a finer texture. Like many heirloom meats, good butchery is essential to flavours in the finished meal. Cooking process is important in getting a perfect final result.

DUCK
Chef’s love duck on the menu because it is the perfect balance between lean, nutritious meat without sacrificing rich flavour. Duck gets a bad rap for being fatty. Most of the fat is in the duck’s skin, but if you don’t serve the skin, the nutrient content is similar to chicken. Duck is a dark meat bird throughout, so if you like the taste and texture of the dark meat of chicken thighs, you will love our duck!

PHEASANT
Pheasants are seasonal breeders, so often difficult to get – a clear benefit when purchasing through Pre Pak is their availability all year round. These are the oldest game bird variety in recorded history. A lean bird with white and dark meat like chicken, but has a much richer flavour. When it comes to Pheasant, farm raised birds have better amino acid profiles, for increased health benefits, with a less gamey flavour.

QUAIL
Quail is breed continuously so they are a popular menu choice the world over. They are small birds, usually about 4oz. each. This tiny size makes them quick and easy to cook by either roasting, frying, braising, broiling, grilling or saute. They must be cooked quickly to keep from drying out. Like chicken they have dark and while meat, but with a slightly more intense, mild gamey flavour.
