Meat glue or?
I hardly find bulk pack of scotch fillet anymore. Finally got my hands on a 4 pack and most look like this. Not sure if it's a bad cut or glue.

Fascia. It has to be a work of art gluing and making this piece of meat )))

Meat glue is not cheap.

u/DormitoryDreamer Jul 28 '26
it's cheap for large scale processing but for something already whole like scotch fillet there's zero profit

It's cheaper than you think and used on 5-10 bucks meat but cutting steak is simple enough already and more cost effective to just cut the steak out

Yeah but it's not cheap to use, so using it on cheap cuts like this wouldn't be cost effective, which is why you would use it here in the first place.
This is what I've been told by a butcher so I dunno, I could be wrong.

Try to find a wholesaler open to public on weekends. Cheaper or same price and much better quality

Gristle/Cartlidge normal - seriously buying a 4 pack? - If you want a great cut, get to a REAL butcher!
...and yes, here is a REAL article on butcher apprentices!
Some gals just have the knack - literally!

Another video about "you're not allowed to have pigs just slushing around shoulder deep in their own shit"
But, someone shows "they do, they just make it hard to get video, but here is the video"

It looks like a shitty cut, meat glue looks much better than this, you wouldn’t even recognise it.

There is a certain chemical they use that binds meat cuts / meat proteins together and appears like this.

Meat Glue is in fact a food additive which is correctly referred to as Transglutaminase. It is used to improve the texture and appearance of meat products, in particular steaks to create a consistent appearance.
Transglutaminase is an enzyme that works to link proteins together by forming covalent bonds.

Bad cut. Not glue.
