I find them slightly *slightly* cheaper at the Barrington Mall Butcher than from the supermarkets.Perhaps $4.50 each roughly.

Either. And unfortunately they are no longer the cheap cut they once were. Too many people caught on as to how good they are. Real easy way to cook them - BIG piece of tinfoil, slightly smaller piece of baking paper on top, lay you shanks on this, sprinkle salt, pepper, sugar and mint sauce. Wrap into a parcel with the baking paper. Wrap that into a parcel with the foil. 160 degree oven for 3 hours. Falling off the bone delicious.
ps: baking paper is to stop them sticking to the foil

quite often they arent available, cos if you think about it, they only 'deconstruct' so many animals a day at a butcher, so there are only so many available............

It's not a shank on it's own, it's a leg and shank...shanks don't look like that

Next time you are in Supermarket look where The Lamb Chops are & should find them there. Hoggett ones are nice too. Just put a bit of water in buttom of pan as draws Fat out and spkinle Salt over them too. Fan Bake on 150 for about hour & they come up really nice.I put Mint sauce over mine too.

If you have a Moore Wilsons handy they sell excellent very meaty shanks, I think they are from backshanks and are much meatier than the foreshanks, they are in a pack of two and are usually about 10 dollars.These are also sometimes in Countdown.

if you where in Auckland I would give you an address but I would recommend your local halal butcher they are cheapish here and excellent quality.

There's a trader at the racecourse end of row A/B at the Riccarton market (happens Sunday 9-2) who sells shanks @ 2 for $6.
