    Anyone know where I can get mallard and/or wild rabbit in Dublin or the South East? I tried the English Market in Cork on Saturday because I've got it there before, but even they had no rabbit and said they can't get any. (Farmed French rabbit are ruled out as far as I'm concerned on grounds both of taste and of animal welfare.)

    Butcher shop on Moore St. had rabbit, pigeon and woodcock last week. May have had other kinds but as I shoot my own I was only looking out of curiosity.

    Shop name is Buckley's

    If it's any use O'Sullivans Poultry in the english market have a lot of different meat types, and often have rabbits. They have a big trade in Venison during the venison season (October to March) and their venison is very good, i eat a lot of it!

    Most of the rabbit I've seen has been frozen and defrosted, never something that interested me, though I have eaten it a few times.

    They vacuum pack stuff too.

    They don't have any wild rabbit these days - will probably be the spring before they have them back. They often have French farmed rabbit which is a totally different beast. I love wild rabbit if cooked well.

    FXB Moore St has a good selection.
    Doyle's Blackrock often has some (had some yesterday, but not rabbit or mallard).
    Fenlon's Stillorgan has had rabbit the last few itmes I've been in.
    Place in Terenure used to always stock exotic meats, haven't been there in years though.

    FXB in Moore st. is the best bet.
