Local Beef Jerky shops

There used to be a place on Fraser or Nanaimo...somewhere around there that made the best jerky in a variety of flavours. Anyone know if it's still around, and if not, does anyone have any good places to go for some great jerky?

Either beef/pork/salmon...anything. Let me know!

that place is on fraser and 26th I think. Should be called Bee kim herng? or something like that. Defintely the best beef jerky i've ever had. A bit pricey though as it runs $18 per pound.

One more vote for Bee Kim Heng on Fraser. A little more expensive than the others, but made in front of your eyes and tastes much better.

I used to buy it from this Chinese South African dude growing up -- he made it himself at his butcher shop. Not sure if he is still in the butchering shop, but it used to be somewhere hidden around SW Marine b/w Oak and Cambie -- like, really hidden in industrial places.

Alternately, there is a place in N. Van on Marine called African Breese [SIC] which sells some -- tho I couldn't say if it is good or not.

It's pretty easy to make beef herky,just go out and buy your favorite meat,go purchase a smoker,marinate the meat in whatever flavour you like.

My friend does this every year when he comes home from hunting,he makes deer and moose jerky,best stuff around.

I would honestly make my own, however, Bee Kim Heng's is seriously phenomenal.

I just went by and they are still open. $19/lb...still the best in Vancouver as far as I'm concerned (other than the long forgotten Jimmy's).

I thought Asian jerky (typically a Singapore tradition) is either pork (ground or sliced meat) cut into fine layer and cooked over charcoal to get the taste.. vs American ones are marinated and dried/smoked, they are done with chunks of beef.

Honestly those are 2 different products.

asian jerky is already cooked after they are marinated. They put it into a big oven to cook it. They just put it over charcoal to just give it some burned ends and such to make it taste better
